  1. I don't think that you want to go there.  Very likely they are not available because they are illegal.  It is well that they should be illegal.  Starlicide and Aviotrol work by poising like one grain in a hundred so that only a few birds get the poison which gives them a long and painful death, a loud death as well, which scares the other birds off.  I have seen test data that it works fairly well, but it is very cruel to the birds that get the poison.  The big problem is that if you put it out to run off your Starlings, other birds, including song birds, game birds, etc. get the grain as well.  It is not specific to the bad birds, and you can't use then go out and pick up what's left over.  I'm not sure what effect it has on other animals that may eat it, but I'd guess that it is not good.  Please try to find another solution to your bird problem.


  2. Can I ask what your bird problem is?
