Thankfully the birds are federally protected.  I have a small vulture roost in
my yard, but it has no ill effects on my property or house.  I just drive by
them in the morning, say hi, and off I go.  The roost is not roosted upon
everyday.  

However, I have no idea what to suggest regarding the problem of these people
in New York.  While I do not subscribe to the concept that god put anything
anywhere for a reason, I do believe that these vultures were poking around New
York a whole lot longer than we were.

You mention a permit, but you don't mention what the permit would permit them
to do.  If it is a permit to capture and transport them to another location,
sure, they should be granted one to give it a try.  If the permit is to kill
them, I find this notion preposterous.  

Since I have no interest in buying a copy of People magazine, I can only
presume the problem they are having with the birds is the mess.  I guess the
only thing I can do is feel sympathetic to the residents plight.  Too bad the
birds picked their yard.
