Holiday Gift Request - Egret Deterants

I know what most of the residents of Chamberlain will be asking for this Christmas. Items to deter the birds...
We only have this month and maybe January before they try to return again. None of us want to go through the hell these birds cause.
The other Texas Cities who have dealt with this will be putting up the fight as well...
Several are probably praying the laws change to adapt to the birds. Since the birds have adapted to residential areas vs. the undeveloped areas.

The Migratory Bird Workshop

Here is the link for the workshop the City of Carrollton and the Neighborhood Advisory Committee put on for the citizens. I am happy with what I have seen so far and am hopeful for the future.

Now the laws need to be changed to protect the people...

Migratory Bird Workshop - City of Carrollton

Migratory Bird Workshop

The City of Carrollton is putting on a workshop to inform the citizens of what can happen if the birds roost.
They also have sent emails to warn the other cities when we chase them out of ours...

What is up in the trees...

Well there are still a lot of nest up in the trees. We have had several storms in the area and not much nest fall. There are sticks that litter the ground which are white because they are covered in poo. Who knows what is still up there...dead...bugs...ewh...

Our street...

We walked through the neighborhood and the yards still have feathers and the streets are stained. It is looking better but still shows the scars of what we went through for months.

The workshop is coming up soon and the City is planning to be proactive for next year.

We are gearing up for the fight we will be having on our hands next year.

The Workshop

Well it is getting closer to the workshop. I hope people will heed the information and warnings they will be given. The birds will not be in our neighborhood next year so they will go somewhere else.

Heronry or Rookery

The officials keep calling what we had a heronry instead of a rookery. Has anyone bothered to look at the definition?

Heronry - the breeding place of a colony of herons

Rookery - a breeding ground for gregarious birds

They need to call it what it is a Rookery!
