I would have to say that killdeer are up there on the most annoying animal that has ever lived. We got those damn birds everywhere here.
over at my dads work there is a hen mallard that lays her eggs in the same spot every year right outside the buildings door. The dumb thing hasn't learned that there isn't water around that area for at least five miles. Those little farts have to get to water once they hatch! and to make thing worse there is foxes coyotes house cats and busy traffic. So every year he would catch her right off the nest and then grab all the little ones and put them in a box and then over to a pond that's on base. Well one year she put up a fight and got away from the old man and would fly over the area trying to get back to her babies. We tried for six hours to catch her buy using her babies as bait to lure her in. (kinda sounds bad but it almost worked) what we would do is let one of the chicks run up and down this alley and we'd stop it from getting out by blocking both ends off. she'd come down to be with it and then we'd charge them with a big ass fishing net.
well long story short it didn't work and we ended up raising 12 baby ducks until they were big enough to defend themselves. That was fun. Kinda like what MWM did with the frogs, we got em a little swimming pool with a cinder block in the middle so they could set up and clean themselves. It's fun raising up a wild animal and then letting them go.
