Birds a hazard to aircraft, or the reverse

Wait till PETA gets in gear

Blank Shotgun Shells were fired every few hours by a machine, to scare away those birds, from airport property.
Although PETA got their underware in a bit of a twist, saying man was distubing the breeding patterns of wildlife. But PETA got over it.
Well that no-longer scares anybody, the birds just continue doing business as usual, whatever that happens to be.

Today most Large Airports have a wildlife control officer, smaller airports merely have these duties assigned to the maintenance crews.

Well if PETA ever finds out about this, they'll have a COW

A guy whose only job is too smash bird eggs, with a wooden mallet

Some may call it murder, but it WORKS :emot-angel:

The big question is when does the contents of those eggs really become a birds?

Settle that question and we can apply a similar logic to "Right To Life" vs. "Freedom of Choice".

Sounds like birdacide to me. . . likely prohibited by some obscure UN proclamation. More shame and scorn to be heaped upon Amerika.

Get Lost Geese

[Hans Jaeger]

Pearson International (Toronto) had a falconer in their employ a while back to put the run on birds. Don`t know how that turned out.

There's a pair of falcons living about 150 yards from my house. In some tall old growth hardwood trees lining a creek.

I love seeing them around. They don't seem to bother the smaller songbirds. Pigeons and doves are their main diet. But they are too small to tackle a Canada goose.

I always love watching shows about birds of prey. Amazing, beautiful and graceful creatures.
