I guess those didn't work.
What about doing a good job of keeping the airports and areas around them free or large flocks?
How much would it cost to have trained hawks patrol the area.
NY already has wild raptors living in the city.
I bet even migrating flocks would scatter if a raptor buzzes them.
So perhaps I should get into falconry and charge airports to have my falcon fly through any migrating flocks.
It would be almost like being a super villain.
Also, if they're in a flock you can probably avoid them more easily than if they scatter.
Keeping raptors around permanently would be problematic. For one, they're probably just as rough on an engine. And for another, how do you feed them for the other 11 months of the year? And do they even eat birds that big?
A firework gun that can set at what altitude the fireworks go off and then launch them.
If there was a hawk, could you be sure that it would stay out of the way of the aircraft? The hawk itself would be a risk of bird strike.
