The very short article notes the video shows “invasive species, including pigeons, English sparrows, and European starlings.” Basically flying rats.

Not Robins. They're European/English sparrows.

Wrong. Two European House Sparrows.

robins were actually a staple in the diets of early Americans- The meant is dark red- and earthy tasting much like a woodcock acordign to reports-

Those are European Starlings and are designated as pests by the Fish and Wildlife Service and Uncle Sam would appreciate it you exterminate them with extreme prejudice as they are non native and desecrate the habitat for your Robins and other indigenous song birds.

Kinda thought they were bluebirds...but nevertheless.

If they were migratory birds or protected..the shooter could be in trouble.

Unless of course they are Wind or Solar power exempt.
