Sparrows

33 UK F

My bungalow is surrounded by high densely packed hedges.

Sparrows have each year become increasingly more populated and during nesting and mating season, its all I hear from 3am - 8pm.

Sparrows are mean and have bullied all other birds away. So its just them.

I saw someone else in the sub equate the noise to a dog squeak toy. So its like having 500 dog squeak toys infuse my house all day.

I work from home and I live paycheck to paycheck.

The windows and doors are old and I can't afford to replace them.

The Sparrows only used to be a trigger when I was inside my home. I was ok outside.

Its now got so severe as a trigger that anywhere I hear it (they are everywhere), it's basically sending me into a panic attack. I feel like i can't breath.

Sparrows are something I'm never going to be able to avoid.

What do i do?

Please be kind to me as I'm very low at the moment and feel helpless as to how I will continue on.

I've cut the hedges down as much as possible. I can't afford to replace them with fences right now, or possibly ever because its a huge garden.

I can't afford to move house.

I play white noise, have earplugs, noise cancelling headphones (yesterday I found blood in my ear after all day use)

I work from home so I'm here all day.
