To determine the meaning of the underlined word "trying," we can turn to the italicized context clue "i'm sick of hearing them." The use of the word "sick" in italics suggests that the speaker is feeling fed up, annoyed, or exhausted by the birds. Therefore, we can infer that the word "trying" in this context means irritating or bothersome. The italicized clue helps us understand the speaker's negative feelings towards the birds, which helps us deduce the meaning of the word "trying."
