Birds Roosting At Tennessee Depot Draw Farmers’ Ire
MILAN Tennessee officials report over 2.3 million starlings cowbirds and other birds roosting on government land near the Army Ammunition depot causing crop damage and health concerns. Farmers, backed by the Milan Mirror editor, say birds return yearly despite past extermination and fear action if roosts spread to private lands. Authorities sprayed roost sites previously, using helicopters to apply a chemical that strips feathers, yet roosts persist behind depot gates with massive black roosts observed at dusk.
