Disgusting Scat

Remember the original mail slot? First, it was too small for standard size envelopes and magazines. Second, our bird friend left his scat all over the slot cover, making it a health hazard for the mail carrier and us. After we attached the new mailbox, covering up the mail slot, we thought our problems were solved. Our mail was intact and the box was safe to handle.

Then this happened:


Our bird friend came back and let 'er rip all over the new mailbox. Day after day he would perch and shamelessly drop his load. Does he think no one wouldn't notice?


Even though he was a cute little shitter, he had to go - and we didn't want to employ an exterminator, poison, or a BB gun. The most PETA friendly option was to put up plant netting, and even though it looks a little odd, no more scat!
