I am happy to see that the Canadian Goose made the list of annoying birds. Around here they are known as Sky Carp. Some years ago some numbnut at work started feeding a group of them from a big barrel of corn. They got so fat and lazy they quit migrating. So their offspring quit migrating. They now just hang around the work pond and parking lot, pooping on everything. Kind of like giving food stamps to people who are already overweight.

Yep,don't feed 'em. My brother began tossing bread bits to the Emerald Head Dullard who swam in his backyard pool. Within a month,he had a huge flock partying down at Pooltime Poopapalooza. He's regained his senses,and his pool.
The Field Guide to Dumb Birds is both funny and spot on,great link.

The neighborhood I live in has several sets of sandhill cranes in the area. I keep my distance, but a neighbor lady thought it would be a good idea to feed them. It wasn't. These birds are BIG and can be quite aggressive, especially when it comes to eating. They chased her back to her house, pecking at her until she dropped the food. She was shaken up but not hurt, and learned her lesson.

Our house is currently under siege by a plague of Northern Fuckers. They drum on the metal cover of the chimney and make a noise like an M60 machine gun
