Birds. Birds everywhere!

[Exterous]

I was walking from my car to the office this morning and the cacophony from the birds was staggering. The birds filled the trees and lined the buildings. At first I thought about a Hitchcock joke until I realized it sounded like it was raining - from all the bird poop raining down. The ground was glistening from all the fresh poop everywhere. Then it became a significantly less fun game of "I hope I don't get pooped on" dodging between building overhangs and places where there weren't tree branches. I'm not sure I've ever been so thankful to reach my office's entrance.

Thank god they migrated a bit south 'cause i was getting sick of them

What type/size of bird are we talking here? (relates directly to poop-hazard)

 

[KMFJD]

Ours were crows, thousands and thousands of them would congregate all over town, they seem to have moved on in the last year though.

In cases such as this, you can simply use a low powered pellet gun to take care of the problem.

Bring Umbrella just in case.

Yep - Crows

I'd run out of ammo far before I made a dent in the issue - leaving plenty of remaining birds to take their revenge

 

[KMFJD]

Yep - Crows

please keep them, we do not want them back

 

[FeuerFrei]

If they're black (maybe with some iridescence) but not making crow calls ... likely to be starlings or grackles. Do not want.

Hate on birds all you want.....just be thankful they exist. Otherwise, you'd be knee deep in bugs....at least.

Make sure the birds don't see you taking potshots at them. And of course bring plenty of pellets and you won't run out of ammo. Pellets come in 500 count tins and cartons, and you can buy a pouch to put them in.

A bit expensive sine will need to buy some sights/scope and a air tank or pump to go with it.

My back yard (and the connecting state wetlands) are full of birds...from tiny little hummingbirds that squabble ofer the feeder to sparrows and wrens at the bird feeder to the stellar jays that try to dominate the feeders, all the way to bald eagles and owls who hunt the area, and Great Blue Herons that nest in the trees behind my house.

At first I thought they were gone today. But nope. They just relocated to another, uncarpet bombed area to carpet bomb

I'll have to see if I still have video from last year. I stopped to check google maps for something and then I look out and there's birds swarming all over. I figure that either something terrible was about to happen, or they were gonna shit all over my car so I GTFOutta there.

At my apartment during college we used to sometimes get huge Crows lining the trees in the little area between us and a church. Was creepy as hell.
