The starlings are back and looking for nesting sites. I need a good way to keep them away. If they move into the hobby shop I will be pissed.
I have an old buddy that worked at a cattle feed lot when he was a teenager. The starlings ate more feed than the cattle. One of the the cowboys captured a starling alive and took it home and tortured it to death. He recorded it on 8 track or somthing and brought it to work the next day and when he turned on the recording, every starling left the county.
How do you water board a starling. If you have used a product or have a friend that has and it works, let me know.

Hmmm, kind of like the killer whales when they attack a great white shark. I'll have to find the story and post it here.

We've used .22 caliber snake shot to remove any unwanted birds where you don't want to damage the siding on your house or where there's a lot of people or houses and a shotgun won't work. It's always done the job.

Go to a farm ranch store and buy a insecticide called "worbex". It is a pour on cattle insecticide. Soak or spray on a food the birds like, (dry cat food, grain, bird seed) and watch them eat and die! Works real good on magpies.

do an internet search for a product by the name of "Roost No More". It took care of the dirty birds in my hangar very quickly.

I have used this on cattle in the past. Put it on grain, bird eats grain and dies. What if dog eats dead bird.
