Fort Worth's Bird Invasion: Residents Fight Back

0:00Folks in Fort Worth Parkland neighborhood are battling a bird invasion that's turning their tree-lined streets into a mess. Last year, thousands of egrids nested in the canopies along teal drive near Navajo way, dropping waste everywhere and damaging homes. The city owns those trees and stepped in early this season. Crews trimmed about 138 trees in high-risk spots, including that area, cutting 30% of the canopy, the max allowed by. Forestry rules, they cleared old nest too, spinning around $32,000 split between departments. Residents feel on edge, scanning skies at dusk for the white waiters. The droppings feel trash cans weekly, posing health-risk the people in pets, while property takes a hit from the non-stop fallout. Groups like eagrid busters rally nightly with air horns, noise makers, and predator balloons called hawks eyes, but they're not scaring birds off yet. Some carry umbrellas just to walk outside, fearing surprise attacks from above.
