BIRDVILLE — We've all experienced it… the first light of dawn hasn't even begun to peek through your window, but a squawking bird has decided to hang out in the tree outside. You pull the pillow over your head and try to go back to sleep, but the insidious chirps make it impossible.
For centuries, humans have been powerless against noisy birds. You can run outside and shoo them away, but they'll only come back with reinforcements. And they'll probably drop a little souvenir on your car just to show you who's boss.
The good news is that a brilliant YouTuber named Lucas Farrar has cracked the code. Using nothing more than a laser pointer, he is able to evict a cacophonous murder of crows from the trees outside his apartment. You'll have to watch the video to see how unbelievably effective this tactic is.
"Bye bye crows!" exclaims Lucas, as the ominous birds take to the skies. "Heh heh. No more annoying crows waking me up in the morning!"
And there you have it. The first truly epic life hack of 2021.
