Ahhhh... I think they're doing that with coyotes, too, aren't they?... Birth control for pests/dangerous animals... Good idea.

Goering wasn't the first to try this idea. In the late 1800’s Eugene Scheiffelin set out to introduce to America all of the birds depicted in Shakespeare’s writings. He released sixty starlings in Central Park in March of 1890 and forty more the following year. By 1970, that small group of founders grew to half a billion birds invading the continental US and Canada all the way to the arctic circle. Starlings are clever and extremely adaptable to urbanized environments, forcing native species like bluebirds, woodpeckers, flickers and martins out of their natural habitats.
