Homeowner Scares Bear Off Trash Bins With Foolproof Defense System… Big Mouth Billy Bass

Absolutely brilliant. While everyone else is installing security systems that cost hundreds - if not thousands - of dollars, this person found a far more cost effective solution to keep their home safe. Specifically, this person needed to stop a reoccurring bear from getting into their garbage cans, and they came up with a creative, fool-proof way to deter the bear away from the trash. Big Mouth Billy Bass. Yeah, that's exactly what you think it is. The singing, mounted fish that your grandpa probably had (and raved about) somewhere in his house not only brings the forced laughs. It can also double as a rather effective security measure, specifically against bruins that are trying to go through your garbage. Security cameras captured the sizable bear walking up to the trash bin and trying to force it open by prying its nose underneath the lid. However, it didn't get too far into the attempted garbage heist before the Big Mouth Billy Bass kicked on, singing the classic Bobby McFerrin "Don't Worry Be Happy." Ironically enough, the bruin was worried, and it certainly wasn't happy. This time, the singing bass worked. But notice that the caption over the video states that the updated score is "Bear - 1, Trash can - 3." Big Mouth Billy seems to be doing a good job, statistically speaking. Though the bear apparently got through the hilarious security measure, unless that very first time is why the bass was put up in the first place. The bass' effectiveness is also helped by the homeowner swinging open the door and yelling: "You get out of here right now!" https://www.instagram.com/reel/C88JoIbRhbD/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link I'll have to keep this idea in mind. The social media user who posted the funny clip asked others online if there's anything else they can do to deter bears. That resulted in some decent ideas, but the comment section was mainly just commentary about the bruin getting its mind blown by the singing fish: "Play bare necessities instead." "That poor bear he had that tune stuck in his head the rest of the day!" "His best friends are not going believe him when he tells them he met a talking fish." "Bear was in fact quite worried." "City bears are going to start spreading rumors of this Talking Dancing fish …….be warned all the Forrest animals will have to come and see too!" That's a good point I didn't think about. What if wild animals from all walks of life start getting word of a singing fish and they have to come see it for yourself? Talk about a plan backfiring...
