My first thought didn't go to living with them... my thought went towards eating them.

Little birds tend to be quite tasty and if it is nearly impossible to get rid of them I'd say would be a nice source of protein.

It's illegal to catch them now in Europe. Harder to catch by poachers than they once used to be, since there's much less of them around.

They taste like quail, apparently.

Do you eat them whole, without the feathers?

Maybe blinded, drowned in liquor, and eaten whole: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ortolan_bunting#Gastronomy

How many starlings does it take to make a nugget?
