This is also how I feed the birds. I am banned from the park.

This is how I got rid of mine but it was thanks to mice, not birds in my case. I felt like Cinderella!

They're named after the tape measure and if those birds let go its the coming back in you've got to worry about.

A reply in your inbox is just like a tapewormmeasure, it keeps you coming back to the post.

Older people around here tell stories of homemade treatments where the person would be fasting for hours while sat on a chair with a hole, with a bucket of milk or white wine below. According to them, this would make the tapeworm get out (very slowly) into the bucket.
