US sorts out bird hazards!
I wasn't sure where to put this. Maybe Jet Blast, I thought, but aviation content is frowned upon there. But we don't seem to have a category for threads about re-hashing a bit of existing knowledge into a lightweight news story! Still, at least we can learn from the way the US does things.

The problem is the birds accustom themselves to any and all varrying by breed age and time of year and the bird's latest memory.
Couple that with a 24 hour day seven days a week and no holidays and some critical gaps in employing these strategies by the airport workforce give the birds a chance to avoid the security.
It always seem that when a severe bird strike has occurred that 100% coverage by any oif these methods was not employed.
Kind of like delivering the postal service in rain-sleet and snow 24 hours a day without expecting to stuff a few down a sewer grate.
