Fort Worth uses the summer to prepare for the grackle’s fall return
Seems the annoying bird has no respect for poopless sidewalks.
Seems Fort Worth's seasonal nuisance, the grackle, has taken some time off in the hot weather. Among the annoyances are the loud noise these birds make, their general disdain for the political process, pushing down old ladies, blaring rock music in the wee hours, and the plethora of poop littering the sidewalks.
In the summer interim, the city has been preparing measures to make sure the bird's fall return is not a pleasant or welcome one. The three pronged attack, aptly named Operation: Grackle, includes various techniques for making the birds want to leave downtown, including laser beams, grape-scented fog, pyrotechnics, and falcons.
