| Sri Lanka-trekearth: Name that tune? |
Previous employer @ site: 'Let's be honest, you are a bright lad...'
But, I still play a little dumb on here sometimes...
A Facebook friend states: 'The best way to avoid being attacked by a magpie is to travel around via tank...By all means - those who have not experienced magpies need to be warned. Smart, but *evil*.'
There are hundreds, perhaps thousands of black crows at work. There are messy results, feathers and feces.
Two of my fellow security officers this week attempted to chase some crows away.
This is was good comedy, by the way...
At the corporate site where I am employed they have wisely, in my view, taken an environmental approach to existence and maintenance.
Biblically, as God prioritizes his environmental and animals in creation in Genesis 1: 9-12, 20-25 and then again prior to the flood in Genesis 6-7; clearly the dominion, Genesis 1: 26-30, humanity was given over the environment and animal creation included concepts such as care, preservation and maintenance.
Not abuse. That would arise from sinful human nature and the fall.
There is a tension, however, in the case of the corporate crows because they are leaving feathers everywhere and leaving white deposits, that are not ice cream, this summer, everywhere including on the concrete floors and glass railings.
A recent CBC article provides some more advice...

My suggestions
The use of a loud air horn (plus I would be willing to use it).
Call in the exterminator?
Effective. But, I suppose that would be working against corporate environmental policy and would look very bad if the media ever found out...
Provide the security officers with firearms and a near perfect opportunity for target training at after office hours. I actually like this idea, but I suppose again against corporate environmental policy and this would look very bad if the media ever found out.
It could also be very bad if a security officer missed a crow and accidentally shot one of the security officers on site stationed in the nearby construction area.
But of course, 'those guy' according to our senior security officer, and rightly so, are so out of it they would not know what hit them anyway. They do not even seem to notice that there are other security officers on site.
Have the on-site canine unit attack the crows instead of taking out his boredom by occasionally losing it with security officers or going berserk while in lock-up.
Via NATO, the use of nuclear, chemical, or biological weapons in a very small quantity.
But please just make sure I am no longer employed on site...
I know, very selfish. I repent. (Matthew 22, Mark 12, John 15).

He looked scared shirtless. Not worth it...
