Depredation. This is a well hidden secret on the US Fish and Wildlife Service's site. If you are having problems with nuisance birds this is the page for you.
Depredation permits are issued to allow the take of migratory birds which are causing serious damage to public or private property, pose a health or safety hazard, or are damaging agricultural crops or wildlife. For technical advice and information regarding hazing and harassment techniques, contract your local office of USDA-Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service, Wildlife Services. Should it be necessary to apply for a permit to kill a limited number of birds, documentation from their office that they have offered advice in the non-lethal control of birds is required as part of our application information. No permit is required merely to scare or herd depredation migratory birds other than endangered or threatened species or bald and golden eagles.
