 Most birds (not divers like loons) have oil in their feathers which 
keeps them dry. If you have soapy water in the SUperSoaker and spray the 
birds, it will dissolve the oil and the birds actually get so water 
logged they can't fly. In fact, many will "terminate" either from 
hypothernmia or even pneumonia. This tactic has been used on zillions of 
starlings in the past with a lot of success. I personally would never 
harm an animal ( rodents aren't animals, are they?). -pat
