We dissected pigeons (rock doves) in high school in advanced biology, so I have no problem with culling their numbers, as the birds can be useful even after death.
I also have no problem with the fact that the city of Bend, Oregon recently decided to cull some Canada geese that were giving them trouble. They had the geese butchered and served to local needy.
Critics condemn feeding euthanized geese to needy | kgw.com | KGW News | Portland, Oregon Personally, having visited/used the park where these geese congregate, I was GLAD that they culled the geese because they had established a unnatural population there that wasn't migrating, and the poop generated by the geese was disgusting. The park's Mirror Pond is a popular spot to end a float of the Deschutes River, and it's gross to have to try and pick your way through the goose poop around the pond to get out of the river.
I also think that in addition to culling, we should consider a public service campaign to remind people that they should not feed wildlife. Feeding wildlife is one of the main things that contributes to these kinds of problems. Here's an article about a wild turkey shoot in a town near mine:
Philomath goes for the kill on turkeys Why did these wild turkeys become a nuisance? Yeah, that's right: people fed them.
