>European Starlings
What do you guys do to get rid of them?
I just put on imagerelated & shoot them, they don't really notice it when shaded (or care if theres dead starlings all over the ground either).
The suit is a bit annoying though, so are there any other good camos that they can't see easily? Do standard turkey/duck hunting sets work just as good?
I know certain birds see different colors and other weird stuff, so I won't wanna get something that stands out like a beacon to them.

I love birbs and they're sounds. Recently one Black Retard (Phoenicurus ochruros) made a home somewhere close and everyday at 4 AM he singing loud

For what reason? They are considered an invasive species in North America but so is the domestic cat and cats wipe out native bird species and kill up to a billion birds annually.
>>
>>2868073
are you really going to imply that birds do not have eyes & the ability to recognize the human form?
this is literally what i -have- to use, else they fly away (and then immediately come back the second i leave)
>>2868075
>>2868077
thats actually one of the reasons i'm getting rid of the starlings
they push out the other species, turning a backyard with 70+ other birds, into one filled with just invasive starlings that eat all the food in under a day (which would normally sit around for a week, feeding all the other natives)
>>
>>2868078
You should shoot and kill the feral cats then, as well. You aren't one of those faggots that superficially single out a species and lose sight of the forest for the trees, are you? Because feral cat populations are worse for birds than s. vulgaris.
>>
>>2868079
>You should shoot and kill the feral cats then, as well.
not legal, i livetrap them instead
works well enough

i wouldn't mind killing them, but again, its very illegal where i'm at & i'm not in a place where they can just be shot without that being noticed (so save your spiel for someone else)

TNR of feral cat populations is technically in violation of the Endangered Species Act as well as the Migratory Bird Treaty Act (releasing invasive species into the wild is verboten)
You have no deep interest in birds or ecology you're just a fag
>muh laws
LOL

>>2868082
i don't like them because they act like niggers, so yeah
>>2868083
>quotes law

stop crying, you bleeding heart
>>
>>2868085
No, you don't like them because you get to feel like a big boy superhero when you kill a "bad guy" animal.
You don't actually care about the real reason behind bird declines, which is pollution and habitat loss. You're blaming starlings because they're the only species adapatable enough to survive.

>>2868093
Not a vegan. Frankly I don't care if he's shooting starlings but I don't like his self righteous pretense of being the holy savior of the ecosystem. Unfortunately too many people who deal with the outdoors have this same mindset.
>>
>>2868096
do you just assume everyone but you has a self righteous pretense of being the holy savior of the ecosystem, the moment they kill any animal ever?
you're trying to argue that me killing a literal invasive species makes me a "big boy superhero", but i wanna know what fucking part of >>2868078 implied i was doing anything other than getting rid of an annoying creature? really, i wanna know
>>
>>2868098
Invasive species are a symptom, not the cause of environmental degradation. Like I said you're not solving any problems by shooting a couple birds so don't act like you're saving the world.
>>
>>2868075
Black retards wake me up at 4am too
>>
>>2868101
>so don't act like you're saving the world.
never did, you apeoidic retard, so stop projecting your delusions onto me

all i asked was "are there any other good camos that they can't see easily?" and "Do standard turkey/duck hunting sets work just as good?"
your dumbass then tried yelling at me to kill feral cats (something illegal), so i said "no", and you somehow took that as a personal attack

what, do you have a phobia of cats? you got a fetish for starlings? what is your deal?

what >>2868093 said, leafsuits are dirt cheap now
>>
>>2868071
the amount of infrastructure and resources required to manufacture your big boy larp camo and bb gun caused more damage to the environment than the birds you are now killing ever will
>>
>>2868109
you can tell that to the people who gave the ghili suit to me as a gift a decade ago, and remington arms back in 1948 when the made the rifle
the lead going in the ground is totally on me though, i don't care for that, and will probably move to using leadless ammo / an airgun
