The Starling Attack

I haven't been able to find a link in the two minutes I searched, but KM3 News here in Omaha did a story that has haunted downtown Omaha for the last couple years: starlings. Last year a big fuss was caused because there are thousands of starlings among the downtown buildings, mainly the First National Tower, pooping on anything and everything that happens to be underneath them. So a year ago they got a large fog horn to go off every now and then. Then they put yellow streamers on the buildings to get them to move out. Now that they have involved some genius branch of the federal government, they have two guys in orange safety vests shooting streaming, noisy fireworks into the air. The good news is that the starlings are moving from the First National Building. The bad news is they are perching on the building across the street (if I could find the link, I'd be more descriptive). The worse news is, it's taking two government employees, both in bright orange safety vests complete with yellow reflective tape, to stand outside the building and shoot basically a flare into the air. I might go down tomorrow just to watch. Watch my money being shot into the air.
