Bird-B-Gone

At the bottom of the Bird-B-Gone website, this little .gif promoting the importance of bird identification in "deterring birds."

Clicking the link brings you to this little field guide to 12 nuisance birds: Pigeons, Gulls, Geese, Starlings, Sparrows, Crows, Grackles, Swallows, Woodpeckers, Turkey Vultures, Great Cormorant, Great Blue Heron.

Looking at this list, a few obvious things stand out: Some of the listed vermin are species (Great Blue Heron, for instance) while others are groups of species (gulls; crows), and then there are some less-well-known nuisance birds on the list. Swallows, for instance, are described in the guide in this way: "Barn swallows are noisy and emit a sharp 'vit' call in flight."
