I'm going to have to try the oil on the eggs thing on the grackles in my back yard. My neighbor and I have been pulling down nests with eggs in them. I finally quit because they'd just rebuild and lay more eggs, but I found that if you broke the eggs, they left. One of these years I'm going to try to electrocute them. I've got a 500 microfahrad capacitor; I wonder if it would pack enough wallop. Thing's a little smaller than a Red Bull can.
If nothing else it will singe some feathers
I wonder if they stay on the nest after the oil is applied? If they do it would delay them from moving and rebuilding elsewhere.
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger. Except for bears. Bears kill you.
