I'm torn on this. Maybe I would feel better if the government weren't a part of it..lol.

Starlings are a public health problem. It makes sense to kill them in the winter when it's easier and less dangerous to clean up after them.

"Established roosts of starlings harbor diseases such as blastomycosis, beef measles, and histoplasmosis. All three of these are serious heath risks to humans. One last economic concern is starlings' presence at airports and especially on runways. Stray starlings that have wandered off onto airport runways have caused aircraft disasters. These starlings clog up engines, causing a shutdown of the plane and its eventual descent. Although starlings do perform some good deeds, they are for the most part a nuisance to our community."

Somehow, replacing the nuisance posed by bird droppings with thousands of rotting carcasses just doesn’t make sense to me. Then again, that’s govt. work for ya’.

Here we go again.

I really don’t have a problem with trying to manage massive populations of flying rats.
I just wonder what happens to falcons, hawks, cats and dogs after they eat the dead birds?

I remember a story about one city squirting blackbirds with soapy water during the winter. The soapy water washed away their natural oils and they froze to death.
