I have heard that english sparrows and starlings are 'bad' to have around. What is/ are the reason(s) for that?

They are invasive species(not always a bad thing), driving out the native songbirds through competition(they are supremely adapted to living with humans[:@]. They cause a lot of problems as they build thier nests everywhere (not to mention s**t on everything)

when i was growing up my brother and myself had a contest all summer long with our pellet guns....the count always stretched into the thousands but it didnt make much of a difference.....
