Starling Pelting to Begin

From Chattanoogan.com The attack on swarms of starlings in downtown Chattanooga begins next Monday evening, City Forester Gene Hyde said.Continuing for three straight nights, the city of Chattanooga will be using the services of a company called "Flockfighters" which specializes in dispersing populations of nuisance birds. The goal is to try to persuade the starlings to find new roosting sites away from sensitive downtown locations, it was stated. For approximately 30 minutes each night around dusk Flockfighters will be fogging selected starlings roosts with a food grade ingredient which is derived from Concord grapes. This material persuades the birds to leave the area. The effects are temporary and felt only by birds. Humans and other mammals may detect a pleasant grape scent but are not otherwise affected, officials said.
I would probably not find the grape scent pleasant. I have a feeling that there is probably another nuisance in waiting that loves grapes.
