U.S. Bank Stadium is a Bird-Killing Machine

[Vanimal46]

Birdwatcher and Hrbowski, close your eyes.... You don't want to read this. 

 

Our fancy new stadium is killing a bunch of birds since it was built. Bird loving volunteers conducted an 11 week study to find out exactly how many birds are losing their life because of the huge glass windows on the stadium. During the 11 week trial, they found 60 dead birds  

"The findings, along with reports from maintenance staff and security guards, estimate that perhaps as many as 500 birds die annually as a result of the building. Even if the actual number is half that estimate, it would still make the stadium the most lethal structure for birds anywhere in Minnesota."

Dibs on any geese, ducks, turkeys or chickens.

I'm sure they feel the same about you.

I'm not sure the Turkey's and Chickens have much to worry about, unless they somehow find their way into the stadium and manage to run really fast into the glass.

If they found a dead Loon, would they demolish the stadium that day?

In other news, ambulatory humans committing mass insect genocide with their feet, windshield casualties at all time high as well.

You laugh, in British Columbia, news like this would be enough to spark a Provincial inquest.

This was predicted when it was built. Wait for migration season.....

Just wanted to make sure I had all the bases covered. Not sure if ostrich is any good.

Rare Ostrich is one of the best meals I've ever had. I think it was in MN, if I recall where, I'll let you know.

Sounds good, I'd like to try it.

 

So yeah, dibs on dead ostrich flying into US Bank Stadium also.

It's funny. People slam wind turbines for killing birds (not a secret who that is). However, when it comes to football.... all is fair in love of football. I don't really care about 60 birds. Cats kill millions per year (to be fair, I could live without pet cats in this world... dogs too really).

As humans we are experts at finding stupid ass hills to die on.  And this is one of those hills.

"Rare ostrich" seems to me redundant.

 

Is there somewhere eating ostrich is common?

It's common in the Chacharomastucaci aborigine tribe in the Northern Territories of Australia.

Australia. I think I may have sampled some at one point. Oh, wait, no, that was emu. Never mind.

 

But the killing bird issue ... isn't there something they can rig up that emits a sound that keeps birds away?

I think ultrasonics are effective in some cases; maybe they can use the money saved on Peterson to install something.

 

Otherwise it's time to raise some pre-super bowl pressure here.

Tried that already.
