Neighbors Say Woodside Hawk Recordings Are For The Birds
NEW YORK(CBSNewYork) — Bird calls have been ringing non stop at the 51st Street Station in Woodside.
People looking around for hawks and other birds of prey have noticed that the racket is coming from a recording being played on an electronic squawk box, CBS 2′s Dave Carlin reported.
“It sounds like we’re in a tropical rain forest,” John Price said.
Officials told CBS 2′s Carlin that the racket is not without reason.
“What you hear is sounds that will scare pigeons away,” City Councilman Jimmy Van Bramer said.
Van Bramer explained that something had to be done about the pigeons at the station. They were ruining people’s clothes and leaving the area caked with droppings.
