Shooting birds?

debgeislerA company called "Bird-B-Gone" (why can't anybody spell out words anymore?) is offering a bird-deterrent laser for sale that is designed to "annoy birds without injuring them."
The company, which specializes in "architectural bird control products," also sells gutterspikes (designed, perhaps, to deter guttersnipes?), bird motels (big cages -- bearing an unfortunate resemblance to some of the motels I've stayed in), and so on.
My second favorite, though, is the scare crow deterrent, which combines a motion sensor and a sprinkler head.
No indication if it will also work "on your little dog, too."
