Joe the wonder dog
For some light hearted humor (promise Mods I won't mention the 'Q' word so no need to lock this one up so quickly). The Today show this morning featured 'Joe the wonder dog' as a black Lab patrolling for want of a better word the Cooly Airport for bird activity. The trainer/owner would accompany 'Joe' out onto the grass lands in & around the AD to scare off any birds on the ground. Trouble is all 'joe' is really doing is making the birds take flight to increase the chance of a bird strike. Of course the film footage showed copious quantities of J* (aka Today show) A/C coming & going which was a nice propaganda touch:-) I can just see the news now.'Joe' the wonder dog wanders out onto the runway/taxiway in hot pursuit of a wayward Ibis & gets squashed or cooked, the birds would be rubbing their wings together, birds 1, Joe 0:-) Still I guess someone thinks they are helping the bird problem.
Big money spent on bird scaring tactics these days.
