Grackles Draw Fire and Lasers in Fort Worth Cannons
City crews deploy a sound cannon and lasers to deter migrating grackles over downtown Fort Worth near the Convention Center. Vendors use slap sticks and falconers as needed while birds roost in trees and create droppings on sidewalks. Officials paused cannon use as flocks thinned, planning targeted deterrence ahead of peak migration.
