Rats with wings.

Crows and jays may be a bit thuggish, but don't qualify as rats.
Native, intelligent, and classy in a way.

'Rats with wings' can only be starlings or pigeons.

"Rats with wings" would definitely be a good definition for starlings. They
are vulgar bullies with no redeeming value. There should be a bounty on
killing the pests.

Pigeons are more like clowns. When you see the way they walk, you almost
feel sorry for them. Its almost like they need corrective shoes and
rehabilitation.

Bats most definitely are not "rats with wings" despite their German name,
they aren't even rodents.

I agree...young starlings cause a lot of damage in my vegetable garden
in the spring. Often it nothing more than vandalism as they don't seem
to know what's edible and what isn't.

Pigeons are more like clowns. When you see the way they walk, you almost

When you see what a mess they make roosting in large numbers, 'clown'
isn't what comes to mind -- more like 'guano machines'.

My daughter was mightily amused the other day by a sticker which suggested
that 'Pigeons shouldn't eat chili.' And speaking of chili, this Sunday is the
Annual Great Lakes Regional Chili Cook-off downtown in Plymouth:

Anyway, back to insulting birds.

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.)

One redeeming trait--I've observed them eating Japanese beetles off of my
canna plants. Not to excuse their other bad habits, but I am grateful for
small favors.

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

Dinner.

And get some swans. They compete territorially with the gueese, and
will chase them away.

Shirley Hicks, in Toronto, overlooking a Humber River marsh where the
swans have done just that. The flock moved up to the park up river,
and onto the local apartment buiding roofs. Now have to kick gueese
out of the way when running in the 'hood.

Liberalism is not a political orientation, it is a mental disorder.

Suits me! They have a special hunting season here for the local non-migrating
introduced geese.

I know. I am thoroughly shocked that anyone would ever harass swans,
but it has happened locally. They chase off the geese and jet skiers.
What's not to love??

My daughter wrote a very good poem for her lit class about the geese that
infest and crap all over her high school campus...

Fascist conservatives, when confronted with the truth, resort to the only

I would find harmless name-calling to be much more preferable!!!

You are no doubt still an idiot dick head on a two inch shaft and a
premature ejaculator!!!
