Exactly. That's why I wanted people to see the whole of the article, not just that you can arbitrarily kill them. I'm not really a tree hugger and I'm all for population control. I'd be a hypocrite to bitch about starlings being invasive when, in fact, I eradicate native plants all the time so I can grow my alien-to-the-US roses! Plus some of my trees are not native to the US either. But when the starlings start to push out my pretty native birdies, that's when I get mad. But I deal with it by only feeding food that I know that my native birdies like (nyjer/thistle seed).
