While we're at it we should pick a derogatory name for the widely
introduced
Canada geese that are pooping all over the parks these days. (In SE MI
they've
increased more than 50 times in numbers since the late 70s. It's a
man-made
problem as they were enthusiastically released all over the place for
years.)

Flying dogs?

Tree rats = squirrels
Lawn rats = rabbits
forest rats = deer
suburban rats = ground hogs
neighborhood rats = kids
rug rats = little kids
stinking rats = skunks
