I guess it was just my imagination but after Sully went for a swim it seemed that just about every airport in the world put "Increased bird activity in the vicinity/on the airfield" on the ATIS full time. Useful at night ! What do you do ? Divert ?

The one I love is at Heathrow which goes something like - "caution when manoeuvring in the holding area as wing tip clearance is not assured" - been on the ATIS since Orville was a boy.... feel like saying, "please advise when it is and then we'll push back" - we can't see the wing tips on our aircraft.... you know, we really should throw it back - i.e. let me know when it's safe ?
