The owner of a 20-hectare mango plantation in Sawaeng Ha district of the central province of Ang Thong has put it on the market, and the sale includes tens of thousands of Asian openbill storks (Anastomus oscitans).

 

43-year-old Kannikar Supradit told Thai PBS that, for the past three years, she has been fighting with the birds to no avail, as they now occupy almost every mango tree in the plantation and damage the fruit, causing her about half a million baht in lost revenue per year.

 

Since the flooding in October, she said that the birds have taken to roosting on the roof of her house and their droppings emit a foul odour, making living in the house almost intolerable.

When I lived in the countryside back in the UK the local farmers used gas powered bird scarers, every 15 minutes or so they would give an almighty bang scaring the birds away, maybe she needs a couple of these.

Anybody tried roast stork ?

In colonial India, sportsmen shot the openbill for meat, calling it the "beef-steak bird" 

Openbill is another name for them
