Little question, what is the connection between the below species:

Grey Heron
Cormorant
Peregrine Falcon
Canada Goose
Ring-necked Parrakeet
Ruddy Duck

Any guesses

RSPB wants to shoot them?

The word 'Cull' might have something to do with them!

Ho ho, spot on!

Not difficult huh? First two guilty of eating too much and causing 'economic damage', next two unpopular for being too common with certain groups, the last two for having the misfortune to be exotics impacting on native populations. Sound reason to cull the last group if you are a conservationist, sound reason for the first group if you are a fish owner, sound reason for the middle group if you like pigeons or clean parks.

Bit ironic, but...

Would the inference be that if you oppose the Cull (s) you`re not a conservationist
