Grackle Pest Bird |
Tamohara das wrote: "We have a type of bird in Canada called a Crackle. These birds fly in to attack smaller birds and in gangs, preventing the individual birds from eating, thus driving out these weaker innocent birds. They are like cowardly selfish predators. Iskcon has been taken over by Crackles. So, the truth will set us free, and we shall oust all Crackles... "

"Grackles are aggressive birds that will colonize in large numbers. These
birds are very noisy, their gregarious nature is very apparent when observing
their roosting and nesting sites."
Sounds much like the IscCon Crackles.
"Grackles can cause several types of damage. As they are scavenging birds,
large numbers can be found at dumpsites, food courts and other human areas
where food is present. The resulting amount of faecal matter creates unsanitary
conditions and can result in physical damage from the uric acid. They are
also an agricultural pest bird because they will eat small seedlings and damage
crops."
Yes also the IskCon Crackles cause lots of damage and are scavenging Srila
Prabhupadas legacy. They too can be found in large numbers at dumpsites, food
courts and other human areas where food is present. Eating, mating and defending
seem their favourite sports. Their faecal matter makes the house of Srila
Prabhupada contaminated.
How Pest Birds Harbor and Spread Disease
"The five types of infectious agents listed above can be associated with birds
in the following ways: the disease lives in the bird and is passed on when
the bird defecates; the disease lives in the birds surrounding environment
and is spread by the birds lifestyle; the disease lives inside a parasite
that the bird harbors. From understanding how the bird harbours diseases we
can demonstrate the four ways the diseases are passed by the bird to humans."
WOW -- what a good description of the IskCon Crackles which are spreading
diseases only. However the best description is how to get rid of them:
How to Handle Pest Birds Problems From A Health Perspective
Using our understanding of how nuisance birds play a role in disease transmission,
we can develop a few guidelines when dealing with bird infestations.
First and foremost, bird infestations are to be taken seriously but not irrationally.
Finally, it is not enough to remove the birds, it is crucial to exterminate
all the ectoparasites and thoroughly disinfect the site. Please refer to our
page on bird waste cleanup for more information.
Great, can someone please translate this in relationship to the IskCon Crackles?
Pest Bird Control
"There are numerous products and techniques available to combat nuisance grackles.
Like fellow members of the blackbird family, noisemaker units such as the
Bird-Gard, Bird Squawker and Bird Wailer units projecting natural distress
calls and frightening sounds (selection of units depends on size of area to
deter birds as well as severity of problem) plus visual scare products like
Scare Eye Balloons, Octopus, Flash Tape and the Avikite can be used to move
them from a site."
"If they are too entrenched to be scared away, exclusion using 1-1/8" Stealth
Net or Bird-Shock electrical track on ledges will be necessary. Grackles are
too nimble for traditional mechanical ledge products. Fogging a roosting winter
flock with ReJeX-iT irritant has also shown some success."
WOW - I am wondering how that would look like, to have IskCon Crackles
removed by Bird-Shock electrical track on ledges?
Well, according to the article it is possible to get rid of Grackles. I am
wondering how to apply this with the IskCon Cracles?
