Just a note in passing … Rome apparently is trying to deal with those flocks of noisy starlings which invade the city every year:
… although the article is oddly (as John McMahon, who merits a tip o’ the pileus for sending this in notes) depicts a bird that isn’t a starling at all. Looks actually like some sort of heron (which would probably be scarier in flock form) [and apologies for a post which was made primarily for the horrible pun]
