Robin's Go-Nuts

So we have this family of robins going on in the backyard...they have like 4 or 5 attempted nests built underneath our deck. it's actually a clever spot...they're protected from rain and wind, and predators can't find them. Eggs hatched a few weeks ago and it looks like the kids are learning how to fly. However, Father robin has seen fit to determine our family to be "predators" in the past few days. Everytime we attempt to BBQ or relax on the deck, he dive-bombs towards us squawking at the top of his lungs, forcing us to retreat indoors. I can't believe we've become hostages in our own home because of a stinkin' bird! Robins make for rotten house-guests...rude and not at all grateful for the hospitality...kind of like European borders!

How much would it cost to rent out an eagle or owl for an hour or two? Just wondering ;)
