    oh I’ve been there before. Anti-getting-hit-with-a-car-bricks aren’t even the weirdest part about the place. They got so many seagulls over there they have professional falconers who have trained hawks to scare off the seagulls. Absolutely bizarre to see IRL

      Not that rare. I live in a coastal town in England. We have hawk handlers come every year. We also have speakers that blast the sound of hawk calls on the dockside but the seagulls seem to have worked out that they’re bullshit.

      They can’t just establish an independent population of falcons in the city? That’s what we did in Montréal for the pigeon problem. A university introduced them a few years ago and now they’re having babies.
