People who feed birds bring the wrath of birdshit upon themselves and their neighbours. To me that's grounds for a beating. What do you think?

A beating sounds a little harsh, especially for a first time offender. How about a slight wounding? Or a crack on the knee with a ball peen hammer. If they don't stop, then you escalate the punishment.

Works for tme!

You need to ask Utah S2K about our first get together. While he was waiting for the rest of us he parked by the pond & went in to use the restroom.. When he came out the was an old couple feed the bird with bread right in front of his S2000 with the top down & birds flying over it.. Utah probably has never moved so fast in his life to move his car..

How many here have seen the commercial (for what I don't know) where a guy in a boxster races to a quick curbside stop, scaring an older man feeding the pigeons? After the driver leaves the car (with the top down), the old dude sprinkles bird seed all over the interior, inducing the birds to go into the car for more food. Birds eat; birds poop, and they do so all over the interior. The old man has a broad grin as he continues to sprinkle the poop-spattered interior as the commercial fades out.

I can't stand them either. Sorry to be politically incorrect, but why feed ANY stray animal. It will only cause them to prosper more, and depend even more on us to feed them. I especially don't like when there are signs posted to NOT FEED THE BIRDS, and they do it anyway.

I agree, too harsh. They should just be tarred and feathered.
