    English Sparrow (pest) eradication from bird feeder

    Good information on house sparrows. http://www.sialis.org/hosp.htm

    ongawesgone ongawesgone commented:

    Um, I aim right at the bird's body, and I hit them. I do not take wind and other things into consideration. If you're going to "eradicate" house sparrows from a bird feeder, sit down, be quiet, and aim for their guts. Walking around showing people why you're missing isn't getting anything done. Y...

    Hawk vs BlueJay

    Dual to the death but the hawk gets to start in side mount.

    ongawesgone ongawesgone commented:

    mytool46: Um, hate to grammatically correct you, again, but, you don't follow one word that begins with a vowel with another word that begins with a vowel: "You keep using "a" adverb instead of using a pronoun". Should read: "You keep using an adverb...". : ) Peace.

    CAmoviefan: I'll weigh-in here. The hawk is doing it's job, keeping other species in check. Now, if you want to discuss killing for no reason, we can discuss how man's introduction of the starling and/or house sparrow and their killing ways have impacted our native cavity nesting species: bluebir...

    ongawesgone ongawesgone commented:

    Now, if we can just get people who want to protect bluebirds to be more aggressive. Meaning, there are still people who just won't accept that starlings/house sparrows are the very worst enemies of our native species. They expect to just "shoo away" these flying pestilence, when it actually takes...

    These are not nesting boxes. These are yard decorations that should not be accessible to "just anything". No bird that I can think of, except for house wrens, house sparrows or starlings --here in North America-- would use these "bird houses". These types of "bird houses" should have the entrance...

    I've looked at the site, and, I'm sorry, but I wouldn't purchase from them. They have a "house" labeled: Robin house. Sorry, but our American Robins don't nest "in" houses. They use platforms. And, too, these houses are more for decoration than anything. The entrance holes are huge --a starling c...

    Yep, I have one. Works great! I just caught a house sparrow the other day. You have to be careful when talking about killing "sparrows" in-general, and make sure you say "house sparrows". We have so many native species of real sparrows, someone will think you're on a native-sparrow killing spree....

    No insult to Carrie, she has a smoothe vibrato. Ann (and Stevie Nicks) have roof-rattler vibratos. When they hit their vibrato, they not only go to the ceiling with it, but they rattle the rafters. And there are some songs that requires that kind of singing.
