Owls like to scout their potential prey from the tops of trees and other high structures. When possible, remove trees and other potential perches that are within 100yd (91m) of your animals' enclosures or your home. Be sure that the trees or other perches in your area are on your property, and not a neighbor's, before having them removed. If they are on a neighbor's property, discuss your concerns regarding owls in the area and find out if removing perching locations is an option. If you're unable to remove a tree or other perching area, try placing large roosting spikes where you have seen owls or other predatory birds hanging out. Roosting spikes can be purchased online and at home improvement stores, and are often called "pigeon spikes" because they are also used to deter pigeons from perching. These spikes can be especially helpful to place near your gutters, as owls will also sometimes use a roof ledge as their place to spy on smaller animals. Because the spikes don't harm birds, and simply prevent them from gathering in a favorite location, they are a favorite legal means of getting wild birds to move to a different location. Barriers may not work if an owl has a nest nearby; it will find other places in the vicinity to perch and hunt. If a nearby owl nest is causing you problems, do not attempt to relocate the owls or nest on your own. Owls can become defensive of their nests and attack intruders, causing injuries with their beaks and talons. Professional authorities will provide you with guidance on how to handle problems arising from a nearby owl nest. They will be able to use professional methods to trap and relocate the owl and its nest.

Rest your electric iron on a heat resistant surface, like on a baking sheet. Then, set it to a medium heat, and allow it to heat up while you prep your sandwich. Refer to the manufacturer instructions for how to operate your particular iron if needed. Do not set your electric iron to the steam setting, as this will not effectively toast your bread. Pick 2 slices of your favorite bread to use for your grilled cheese sandwich. Try to use a dense bread that does not have holes in it. Otherwise, the melted cheese won't stay inside your sandwich. For a classic grilled cheese sandwich, use 2 slices of a soft white bread. For a sandwich with an extra crunch, choose sliced ciabatta, multigrain, or sourdough bread. For a sandwich with a more earthy bite, use rye or pumpernickel bread. Take your second slice of bread and rest the unbuttered side against the layered cheese. Refrain from pressing the sandwich together as this will remove some of the butter coating. Repeat this assembling process for any additional sandwiches you would like to make.

One-sentence summary -- Turn on your electric iron and set it to a medium heat. Place 2 slices of bread onto a plate to begin making your sandwich. Place the unbuttered side of your second slice of bread on top of the cheese.

Third graders will have an easier time studying with tables. This presents all the information out in front of them at one time. In the beginning, let them work off this table in front of them. They can follow the columns and rows until they find their answers. Over time, this will likely lead them to memorization without them even really trying. It's up to you how many factors you want to present them with. A multiplication table up to 6 may be all you want to do right now. However, if you have a particularly bright group of kids, you may be able to get away with a chart that goes all the way up to 12. Show them that 2x3 is the exact same thing as 2+2+2, or 3 groups of 2. This makes it less intimidating since they already know how to add. Emphasize that multiplication is a shortcut. For instance, write down five 2s and then add them together to get 10. Then show them 2 x 5 is really adding two five times. Usually when students learn that there's a short cut, they will take it. Let them use their multiplications tables at first. Then wean them from them gradually. The students who are more math-savvy will get bored quickly with these charts, so give them extra credit questions if necessary. The students who don't catch onto it as quickly will appreciate the crutch and appreciate that you care enough about them to help them through it. In the UK, "Numicon," which shows the numbers from 1 to 10 in blocks with that number of holes, and Cuisenaire rods are popular. However, you can use just about anything that's small, even food. For example, if there are 3 cups and each cup has 4 pencils in it then there are a total of 12 pencils. Show the students that the number of pencils in each cup adds together to a total of the number of cups multiplied by the number of pencils that are contained within them. Illustrate the connection between the math that they have already learned and the math that they are being taught.
