Korat school uses drone to chase herons away

[snoop1130]

 

A school in Nakhon Ratchasima’s Soeng Sang district has resorted to using a drone in an attempt to chase away thousands of herons, which have occupied a forest close to the school, out of fears that their presence could bring diseases.

 

The attempt failed to drive out all the birds, with most remaining in trees.

 

The birds arrived in April this year to an area which is about 50 metres from Bansa Prateep School’s canteens and about 100 metres from the student buildings. Their numbers grew fast and it is estimated that there are now nearly 4,000.

And yet they don't know yet if they have diseases.

and they want to destroy their habitat by cutting down the trees. TIT

Quote from the link

 

"Meanwhile, Saowakon Polchimphan, a teacher, said that a recent meeting with authorities resolved that the school will trim the trees to destroy the habitat of the birds."

 

Do you understand the difference between trimming the trees and cutting them down?

 

Just imagine the smell from 4,000 heaps of bird crap and dead birds. Would you be willing to go and clear up the mess?

Why not catch a few and serve them for lunch - yummy!!

 

In general, they (Herons) are boned and filled with a minced meat and suet stuffing, seasoned with spices and oysters, then poached. Sometimes they are baked in ovens. (Google)
