Black Birds in my yard

Hey everyone,

Is it legal to shoot Brewers Blackbirds?  I get a rash of them every spring and they make a mess on my deck rails, and all over the pool.  I've cleaned massive ammounts of bird droppings for the past few years and I'm getting tired of it.  I'm not sure if these pests are protected or not, so thats why I'm asking.  I also live in a pretty residential area, so anything more than a pellet gun would probably get the cops called.

I've attached a picture and a link to a picture of these things.

Thanks.

Are you sure they are not common grackles..??..

They look very similar to those pictures of Brewer's blackbirds...

Last I knew, common grackles were NOT protected in NY, but it's been a few years since I checked..

If I were in your shoes, I would assume they are grackles, get a BB gun or pellet gun and shoot the crap out of the damn things...

I'd promptly get the carcasses out of sight and would not advertise to the neighbors...

Remember the three S's..  Shoot.....Shovel.....Shut up....
