The residents of Minsk complain about the invasion of crows and rooks. Find out how the problem will be solved.
Residents of the capital are increasingly noticing a large number of crows and gray rooks. Birds create noise, scatter garbage and build nests in yards and squares. The presence of the problem was confirmed by the Minsk City Committee for Natural Resources and Environmental Protection.
Why are there more birds?
Among the main reasons are the availability of food, a comfortable urban climate and the absence of natural predators. If in the past many crows flew to Minsk mainly for the winter, now they stay in the city throughout the year.
What measures do you plan to implement?
The legislation provides several ways to regulate the number of birds:
Use of sound and light repellants;.
Destruction of nests during the permitted period - from August 15 to February 15;.
Catching birds by special organizations with the approval of the Ministry of Natural Resources.
If there are too many crows or rooks in your area, you should contact your local authority.
After the application is submitted, a special committee will inspect the area, assess the situation and determine whether steps are required to regulate the number of birds. The experts will also choose the appropriate methods and the timing of the work.
Important: destroying nests yourself, catching or shooting birds, using pesticides, taking eggs and chicks is prohibited. Warranty is given for such actions.
