La Grange Kentucky

[Snuffy]

Saw in the news today that thousand upon thousand blackbirds [starlings] have invaded La Grange for over 3 months. They use noise cannons, some are shooting with shotguns but no problem solving for La Grange the birds are still there.
1. They carry disease [adults and children are already getting sick
2. They are shittin all over peoples cars and if not washed off will discolor paint.
3. Destroy the trees and land around their roosting area.
Now back in the 70's and early 80's here in Tennessee we were having problems with this same issue. Back then the state waited for a cold night and sprayed the starlings with water mixed with detergent, which causes the birds to loose their ability to keep warm. the water and detergent washes away the oils that protect the birds ability to keep warm. They freeze. Why isn't this being done now? Answer PETA and the enviromentalists. Unethical treament of an animal says PETA. enviromentalists say desposing of the dead birds creates a health hazard. So the solution is to let them roost and shit all over everything causing disease so they ignore and do not try for a solution as long as it isn't at my house

Maybe the DNR needs to import some Asain feral cat to deal with this. Though I though all you guys down there had a dozen or so cats around the barn.

About 200 birds found dead in Arkansas city for second straight New Year's Eve

By the CNN Wire Staff
January 2, 2012 -- Updated 0927 GMT (1727 HKT)

Someone went into a large roost of blackbirds in Beebe, Arkansas, as the clock struck midnight Saturday and set off fireworks, contributing to the deaths of scores of blackbirds, a state wildlife spokeswoman said. Last New Year's Eve, roughly 5,000 birds were found dead in a square-mile area in Beebe, a central Arkansas town about 35 miles northeast of Little Rock through which birds migrate and that is home to a large roost for the birds.
Fireworks last year caused otherwise healthy birds to become disoriented and "fly all over the place" into stationary objects, such as trees and buildings, Arkansas Game and Fish Commission spokeswoman Ginny Porter said.
Those birds' deaths were likely "not intentional," Porter added.
But questions remain about the intention of the person or persons who set off fireworks that killed about 200 blackbirds this weekend.
In light of the fatalities one year earlier, a state wildlife officer and Beebe police officers were patrolling the area mindful of the dangers that fireworks posed to the blackbirds, the wildlife spokesman noted.
Even so, 50 birds died when fireworks went off around 7 p.m. Saturday, said Porter, who added, "We don't know where or who shot them (fireworks)."
The majority of the blackbird deaths occurred five hours later at midnight, in a bunch of trees, or roost, in a residential area.
"Someone went into the roost and set off fireworks," the spokeswoman said. " We didn't catch them, we don't know who."
Blackbirds have poor night vision and do not typically fly at night, according to the game commission.
Robbie Stroud, a resident of Beebe, told CNN affiliate KARK that the latest deaths of birds were disarming, but not as jarring as what happened 12 months ago.
"It was pretty wild," Stroud recalled of the scene last January 1. "We got out and backed out of the driveway, and it was freaky, man. There were dead birds lying everywhere."
