Doh!

Pillaging one's wife's V-day gift is definitely depredation, and the offender should be punished accordingly:)

You are correct Graybeard, but I always thought of the exemption for depredation as if the birds are eating/harming one's crops, etc., not pooping on a sidewalk. I know they are frustrating. I have been hit by them before too.

Believe it or not, grackles are a protected migratory bird, so no killing them. That is why the all these NAMBY cities just try to scare them to go poop on someone else.
