I wonder what the penalty would be for feeding them Alka-Seltzer? Incredibly "...(up to $50,000 for an individual on summary conviction or $100,000 on an indictable offence) and imprisonment (up to six months for an individual on summary conviction or five years on an indictable offence" link
Unless you get a "Migratory Bird Damage Permit"
I'm not sure if Alka-Seltzer is an approved tactic though, lol.

The ill-fated bird flew into an exposition center, threatening to derail a world record Monday, before it was chased into a corner and shot by an exterminator with an air rifle.

Sparrows on an endangered species list? Are houseflies on the list too?

lol. re: uncommon common sparrow -- reminds me of Monte Python "Search for the Holy Grail: "are they migrate - ory?"
"... I might add, is it really necessary to kill a bird that knocked over a few dominoes for a game?" -- Huh? clearly this person doesn't understand the situation -- that is not a "few" dominoes!

Oh yes! An African swallow maybe ... but not a European swallow. that's my point.
Oh yes, I agree there ...
But then of course African swallows are non-migratory.
So they wouldn't be able to bring a coconut back anyway.
Wait a minute! Suppose two swallows carried it together?

Couldn't we ship them some grackles instead? Plus, I bet they could knock over even more dominos!

We could perhaps send a mixed bag including cowbirds, grackles and lots of sparrows.
