Hello,
I'm posting here because the rest of the internets doesn't offer a straight answer...my girlfriend has a nice little garden set up, but it's been occupied by starlings every day for a week. They chase away other smaller birds, eat up all the seed, damage small crops, and love to be as loud as possible. It's driving her nuts. I've never been a bird shooter, but is there any law against shooting one or two so that they get the hint and take off? She lives in the middle of nowhere so there's no ordinance on discharging firearms.
