I was wondering if the law has changed on shooting black birds. I am overrun with them and they are eating everything in sight. I am unable to keep suet feeders, for my woodpeckers, or seed feeders, for the other birds. Even the smallest feeders, they simply rock it, until the seed falls out. I may have close to 60 in my yard at one time. The noise and mess is unbearable. With the huge number of black birds, I am hoping that they are now legal to shoot. What are the farmers supposed to do with hundreds of black birds damaging some of their crops?
Answer:
No it is illegal to shoot the black birds in your back yard, it sounds like you need to get a different type bird feeder, try a finch feeder or a tube feeder, those feeder types have smaller holes where as the bigger birds cannot get at the food source as easily.
