Does any one else remember that during the early 70s Glasgow was over run with several millions of Starlings. The sight of them swarming prior to roosting was nothing less than spectacular. Unfortunately they were also mind boggling noisy and dispensed tons of shite on the buildings and the citizens of this fair city
A firm was called in to get rid of this menace and I think they were called Cameron's Commandos (Based in Bishopbriggs if I remember correctly, the guy made millions). Its a good job the health and safety mob and the animal rites loonies were not around at that time because if I remember correctly their methods of dispatching these poor creatures was less than would be acceptable today!
