Obviously = scaring one kind of bird will end up scaring many birds. Apparently = the droppings from the birds have damaged or destroyed roofing on the = buildings. The source of this information is apparently a newspaper = reporter in the Lancaster, PA area. I sent out an APB to several members of the Harford Chapter to see = if anyone here has heard of this and have received no response. Has anyone associated with MDOsprey received any information that = would confirm or deny the "noisemakers." If so would you please = reply directly to me or if the above information is correct would you = please make a general post to MDOsprey. If this does end up being a fact, then MOS and other organizations = should attempt to do something about it.
