Starling Massacre

I hate starlings, every freaking one of them. In Tennessee they displace native birds such as bluebirds. I know they the displace bluebirds because a) I read it somewhere and b) they invaded a bluebird box I built. Hey I like bluebirds. So a year ago I went on a starling kill spree. I went to McDonalds daily and bought a large order of fries. I didn’t eat the fries, nope put them out in a field. The Starlings grew used to the free food and apart from an occaisional crow interloper (I like crows too) feasted. After several days and about ten bucks in fries I opened up on the swine with a single shot high powered pellet rifle. A pellet moving at roughly a thousand feet per second makes short work of a starling. All my hard work resulted in perhaps a dozen dead starlings, but maybe that’s one bluebird that lived.

All that to let you know that I’m not some crazed animal rights activist when I agree with PETA and say don’t use glue traps. Nope, those are bad, use the swift kill hammer type traps. Or a nine iron.

Are they even going to bother with the next baseball season? At this rate the hall of fame is going to have fewer all stars than the New York Yankees, cripes they’re buying players faster than the Crimson Tide!
