Heh. As infestations go, it pales into insignificance compared with the human kind.

Interestingly, in the UK it's on the 'red' conservation list, meaning it is a species 'needing urgent action' (not the kind you're envisaging, I suspect).

It's like the possum, endangered in it's native Australia, but a terribly destructive pest here. The Aussies think they'll cuddly, but we hate them.

Starlings not being then subject of this thread, I will only comment that here (Oregon) the congregate in flocks of thousands in the fall, while they are still around the count now is much lower. Guess they went to California for the Winter.
