Theme Park Deploys Trained Crows To Collect Litter
An anonymous reader quotes the Guardian: Six crows trained to pick up cigarette ends and rubbish will be put to work next week at a French historical theme park, according to its president. "The goal is not just to clear up, because the visitors are generally careful to keep things clean" but also to show that "nature itself can teach us to take care of the environment", said Nicolas de Villiers of the Puy du Fou park, in the western Vendee region.... The birds will be encouraged to spruce up the park through the use of a small box that delivers a nugget of bird food each time the rook deposits a cigarette end or small piece of rubbish. "There's an easier way to get rid of all the cigarette butts," suggests one anonymous Slashdot reader. "Just train the crows to attack smokers."Read more of this story at Slashdot.
