We have the same problem, although with us it's squirrels.

Never tried to taze a bird... or a squirrel... but I suppose it'd be safer for the neighbors. :-)

I've gone to airsoft guns as they are legal to fire in LA county.
They work like a charm.

Put one of those plastic owls next to your nectarine tree,, the birds will not be so apt to eat the fruit!

Intentionally? By what method? How have you determined this?

Is this something the local sheriff should know about, or are you going to "handle" this matter yourself?

They used to hang ne'r-do-wells that stole them.

Wonder what they did to those that killed them, or even tried?
