and they go
after the (stupidly introduced) house sparrows
Isn't that how we got the starlings (stupidly introduced)?
All of the European Starlings found today in North America -- and they number
in the 200 million range -- are descendants of approximately 100 birds
introduced in New York City's Central Park in the early 1890s. A society
dedicated to introducing into America all of the birds mentioned in the works
of Shakespeare set these birds free.
