Comment about bird strikes
Q & A
Question: What Airport is located next to a bird sanctuary?
Answer: The Toronto Island Airport
Question: What airport has dragged its feet for many years with regard to implementing an effective bird control program and is only now conducting a long overdue wildlife management study which is supposed to take as long as one year!
Answer: The Toronto Island Airport
Question: What Airport doesn't use the best possible management techniques such as border collies and birds of prey to control wildlife ?
Answer: The Toronto Island Airport
Question: What Airport keeps accurate “bird strike records”?
Answer: Probably not the Toronto Island Airport?
Interesting info:
The Canada Goose population has increased over 400% in the last few years.
Birds habituate to the sounds of pyrotechnics, gunfire, “bangers and streamers” current methods of bird control at the Toronto Island Airport
Engine sounds have become quieter over the years and the Q400 is supposed to be one of the quieter planes (except of course if you are human and live within 200 yards of its run-ups, take-offs and landings) but apparently if you are a bird you are less likely to hear it in flight!!
A ten pound Canada Goose could cause similar damage to a plane as a deer hitting a car!
Question: What airport would even want to contemplate, in a best case scenario, “a miracle on Lake Ontario”
Answer: Hopefully not even the Toronto Island Airport!
