===================
The last time I spoke to Wildlife I was told if one had a business and these
birds were causing a serious problem you could get a permit to shoot them
(how many I don't know). That was a few years back. The fish breeders
usually have huge nets spread across their commercial breeding ponds. I
remember seeing it on websites. The birds cannot get in and their lives and
the fishes lives are saved.

When I had a wild bird rehab permit in the 80s through the Dept. of the
Interior, I learned the only birds Americans are allowed to kill are the
Starling and the English Sparrow, both introduced pests. I heard of no
changes in that law. I handled only songbirds. I didn't handle birds of
prey or water birds.
