> [@foolsguinea](#): > > The perches for raptors may be more cost-effective. Don’t get me wrong: Planes landing in rivers are exciting to watch, but is it really wise to be attracting birds to an airport? What I don’t understand is that the article starts by saying that the bunnies are “wreaking havoc” and then says that in 2012 they received three claims for damage out of 4.3 million transactions? I think those bunnies better get hopping if they want to live up to their hype. ---

But the fox urine attracts wolves, so you have to coat THAT with the crap of a mountain gorilla, the wolves’ natural enemies, and then to stop the gorillas, the rheum of a giant squid must be smeared over your engine. The great thing about that last fix is that giant squids won’t go on land. Not that they couldn’t if they wanted to, there’s just no whales for them to catch ---

“Mechanics Say Coat Wires In Fox Urine” I’m picturing the airport rent-a-fox station: you get one fox, a leash and muzzle, and a water dish for one hour, and possibly some directions on how to aim the fox. Cranky travellers, cranky foxes: hilarious hijinks ensue. Perhaps it would be more sensible just to park and leave your hood up. The parking attendant can keep the foxes, and whenever it has to go, he’ll do as many cars as the fox can manage, and then put the hood down for you. ---

When I lived in the desert, mice got into my engine and chewed up the wiring. That was expensive to fix, but I had just read a CarTalk column where someone had discovered a mouse nest in their carburetor - by starting the car. I figured since I didn’t have to clean mouse guts out of my engine and then bleach everything to get the smell out, I was doing pretty good. Why does wiring taste so good to rodents and lagomorphs anyways? ---

> [@Alley\_Dweller](#): > > Don’t get me wrong: Planes landing in rivers are exciting to watch, but is it really wise to be attracting birds to an airport? Crap, you’re right. Airports make a point of using chemicals to deter birds. I was thinking in terms of the land around a parking lot, but drawing the birds just to that side of the land may be too difficult. ---

The parking attendant can keep the foxes, and whenever it has to go, he’ll do as many cars as the fox can manage, and then put the hood down for you. The problem is the guys that are doing the repairs are already coating the wires in peanut butter. It’s good for business. 😉 ---

I would think the rabbits would prefer a warmer climate. Maybe Chicago.
