"There is no precise ranking of the world’s most deadly cities for migratory birds, but Toronto is considered a top contender for the title."

"The group behind the bird patrol, the Fatal Light Awareness Program
, known as FLAP, estimates that one million to nine million birds die every year from impact with buildings in the Toronto area. The group’s founder once single-handedly recovered about 500 dead birds in one morning."

Maybe we need to incorporate some of the methods the airports use to reduce the number of birds flying around. :confused:

Imagine rooftop scarecrows, whistling and ultrasonic sound machines, or laser beam bird deterrents? :cool:
