Re: Controlling the population of black birds in DFW.
The University of North Texas fires loud, screaming rockets at them (think: loud bottle rockets without the pop or the sizzle). I've seen this tactic used elsewhere, too.
The city of Fort Worth uses loudspeakers and plays "birds of prey" screeches in Sundance Square.
Hillwood (Ross Perot Jr.'s development company around Alliance Airport and Texas Motor Speedway) hires private falconers to use hawks and hunt them. After a few consecutive nights of a hawk hunting a specific area, the grackles won't return for a few months. The falconer I met at Westport and I-35 was hired by Hillwood and he said he also does some work for Fort Worth and the city of San Antonio.
