One just showed at the pond. It too seems early.

I hate them. As I have posted in past seasons, "intend to kill them all this year."
So far I have never as it is hard for me to harm a creature (humans excepted).
This year I mean it.

It is a cute bird smaller than a Cardinal. It likes millet seed and they sit and chirp as they eat. They are fun to watch.

They have a nasty habit.
They are brood parasitic.
That means they drop an egg in the nest of other birds and abandon them, kinda like big city Democrats do most of their kids.

The Cowbird baby is stronger than the other nestlings (Titmouse, Wren, Blue Bird, Chickadee, etc) It hogs all the food the parents bring, and the real kids of the parents die.
I understand it is Nature's way like a Coon or a snake raiding a nest, but I hate it.

I hope I can get drunk enough to kill them this year. Maybe if I just shot the bitches, I would only have to kill half of them.

Any solutions out there from yall?
