or wild fowl nests or wildlife dens within the corporate limits of the town,
provided that if starlings or similar birds or other wildlife are found to
be congregating in such numbers in a particular locality of the town that
they, in the opinion of the Board of Health, constitute a nuisance or menace
to health or property, then the Board of Health shall meet with the Wildlife
Chairman of the Council in an attempt to abate such a nuisance. If as a result
of this meeting no satisfactory alternative is found to abate such nuisance,
