Starlings are great...their aerate your yard and keep the crane flies to a minimum.

They would die in a hail of birdshot and then I would burn them in my trash pile if there was anything left of 'em. I fuckin' hate Starlings. Normally they are just loud which hasn't bothered me in the past. This was going too far though. I may need to take undisclosed action.

The number of birds that can be killed by shooting is small relative to the size of the flock. However, shooting may be helpful where only a few birds are present, and in supplementing or reinforcing other dispersal techniques. First check with the local ordinances regarding discharging firearms. Legal Status Starlings are exempt from the Migratory Bird Treaty Act (MBTA) of 1918, which was passed for the protection of migratory birds. Their nests, eggs, young, and/or adults may be removed or destroyed at any time.

Hate those birds with a passion. So much so as a kid my grandfather and I would used to go buy a case of 12ga shells and sit in the yard all day. I still to this day shoot all of them that I can... Now I just use a .22 air rifle..
Also a little factoid, their crap has a high acidity, if they shit on your car it will eat the paint if you don't wash it off... Staff Writer/Photographer TheFirearmBlog.com Sent from Tapatalk |

Bows work good on them too. Plus no concerns at all about firearms ordinances or a neighbor going "Man with a gun" on you to 911.
Not in the mood to mail it to Mike, this will have to do.. GET OFF MY LAWN.

I dont seem to have a problem with them, I have a few robins and my yearly swallows.
Best part of the article. "Starlings are exempt from the Migratory Bird Treaty Act (MBTA) of 1918, which was passed for the protection of migratory birds.

Yeah I have swallows, robin's, chickadee's, doves, hummingbirds, woodpeckers & more sparrow species than count. Those are enjoyable to watch etc. The Demon starlings chase them all off    Sent from my LG-D800 using Tapatalk _________________ Talons wrote: it's too plastic, even for me. it's like old, overworked, plastic everywhere old pornwhore amounts of plastic.

i love birds.
Starlings aren't birds. Starlings are feathered shit machines that sound like Orcs from Middle Earth getting kicked in the nuts. And, their shit strips paint from metal in a heartbeat. Kill 'em, and hang 'em high. _________________ Give a man a fish, and he will eat for a day. Give a man a fishing pole, and he will drink too much beer, get tangled in fish line, hook himself in the nose casting, fall overboard, and either drown, or, go home hungry and wet. Give a man a case of dynamite, and he will feed the whole town for a year!
