I was going to write about this last week after I got shat on by a bird while waiting for the bus at the corner of College and Allen, luckily I had my hood up. At the beginning of the semester I noticed bird shit all over the the bus stop area near the Old Main gates and hundreds of crows gathering at the top of the trees in that area. But today's CDT says a new plan is being implemented in the next two weeks to "fog out" the crows. I guess shotguns would have been too messy.

Adam Smeltz (does anyone else write for that newspaper), writes today that Terminix plans to use a thermal fogger to discourage the crows from migrating in the area of College and Allen. Supposedly the fogger is nontoxic and won't hurt the birds or people in the area. But, as an added bonus, the fog smells like cotton candy! Clearly, Willy Wonka is now working for Terminix.

But here's the thing about using the fogger. It's just going to get the crows to migrate somewhere else, probably somewhere else on campus. So, let's just say for the next month or so, keep your hood up or carry an umbrella.

And if the crows start pecking out people's eyes, get the hell out of town.
