I've seen the result of those bombs, and concede they are nastier than seagulls. Most people though won't feed a vultures. Sorta funny to watch Mom and Dad feeding the seagulls on the Seawall here. The end result is always so predictable.Greybeard wrote:Quote: "You ain't been tagged until a Galveston seagull nails you."
Oh yea, I been "tagged". Cell phone tower down at far east end of our range building is a favored roosting place for local turkey vultures. One summer evening we counted 44 of 'em. The ultimate "tag", in my not-so-humble opinion there, is that the absolute nastiest "bird bomb" is that from a buzzard!

You ain't been tagged until a Galveston seagull nails you.Greybeard wrote:"As the crow flies" our range is about 7 miles southwest of the "boomer location" and home is even further, so I doubt we'll hear much of it, if any.
Vista Ridge Mall (in south Lewisville) even has permanant signs posted for patrons to be aware they use "bird bombs". For all the good it does.
I was leaving Golden Corrall a while back and had some spilled deer/hog corn in the back of my pickup - when I arrived anyway. Most of 'em flew off when I approached, but there were a couple still inside that I did not see - until one flew out from around the tool box and tagged me.
The things are kinda like coons: one of 'em gets on a good thing, then here come all their friends. Then the next night, all of their friends!

Hire ???? I don't think any hiring would be required. I'm sure there would be no shortage of volunteers.Thane wrote:I've got a much better solution.
Hire a bunch of teenagers, "issue" them "Airsoft" guns (preferably battery-powered, fully automatic), and have them go to town on the birds whenever and whereever they find them between 4:30 PM and 7:00 PM. Just have them hose down every roosting tree with those little plastic pellets.
