Thanks to a miracle Israeli innovation, airports and birds are safer than ever!

For airline pilots, birds aren’t graceful flying companions; they’re annoyances, even menaces. Sucked into jet engines – usually, when planes are landing or taking off – the creatures have caused over a billion dollars in damage to planes in recent years, along with tens of billions in damage due to delays and scheduling problems.

To prevent these bird strikes, airports began bird-killing programs with over 700,00 birds killed in NYC since 2009. But this strategy was ineffective and bird strikes have doubled.

But now, an Israeli scientist has developed innovative ways to keep birds out of airports without harming them.

Learn about these amazing tactics that are keeping birds and airports safer than ever!
