• Roboraptor

  Liverpool is putting robotic Peregrine falcons in places where pigeons congregate. Which is kind of silly because they could just use the call.

  But anyway. They’re putting the roboraptors on poles and buildings because the pigeons are unhealthy from eating too much junk food. They don’t want the pigeons to go away, so much as they want the pigeons to lose weight and not look ‘scruffy.’

  Just when I thought I understood the English…

  I was also thinking that perhaps they might do well to, oh, I dunno… put extra conservation effort into Peregrine reintroduction? Like, endangered species and stuff..? But that’s just me.
