The pigeons in Liverpool are get out of hand . They ’re pooping all over the post , get fat and happy and loosely creating a pain . City official have decided to bring in the Robops , machinelike falcons that scare the bejeezus out of the birds that many call “ fly rats . ”
For dopey pigeon , this $ 3700 robotic boo looks exactly like their raw vulture , the Peregrine Falcon . The robot can move its head around convincingly , dither its wings from time to time , springing up and down on its leg and even turn over toward the wind . Plus , it holler just enough to send tingle down even the most intrepid pigeon ’s spine . The makers of these robotic falcon decoys have even been experimenting with power the animatronic birds with solar dialog box .
We can think of other ways to get rid of those pestiferous pigeon , though .
Besides having a massive pigeon hunting time of year , how about just bringing in mountain of real Peregrine Falcons ? Oh , that ’s veracious — more birds , more shit . But Liverpudlians say the ground these hiss are getting so rich is because citizenry are feed them burgers and blimp cast . All that junk nutrient is say to give them a “ scruffy coming into court , ” making them even more unpleasant to have around .
Worse , the doll are by and large wreaking havoc in the community , getting in people ’ faces :
“ They fly up at people and they leave droppings everywhere which not only build the metropolis see really unattractive but can make surfaces tricky and dangerous . ”
This is a material job for Liverpool , spending 88 man hour a 24-hour interval shoveling pigeon droppings . They ’re hope these robots will lighten up the load a bit .
