4.Farms, where birds in large quantities get into the feed areas to feed themselves but whilst they are feeding they are fouling the product, when this is fed to cattle or pigs it gives them diarrhoea and consequently it takes longer to bring them up to body weight before they can be sold, which costs more money.
5.Fouling the pavements in cities when birds (mostly starlings) roost in trees at night and people have slipped on the fouling and have been injured, and later claim against the council involved.
6.Bird strike at airports, where flocks of birds can hit the cockpit glass or be sucked into the jet intakes.
7.Birds nesting in roof spaces and thus bringing in the accompanying insects, which when the birds have flown, can infest the house involved, things like bird mite, bird flea, Dermestes beetles, Spider beetles etc.

The list goes on, so you can see that although it is a sensitive subject, it is one which has to be addressed otherwise there would be a lot more disease and food taint that we have at the present.
