They kill all species of birds that can potentially harm the engines near the airport. ???

Possibly, or they use a non-lethal method. But that’s not what i was talking about :slight_smile: They can do that with or without knowing the species.

Wait your turn, we’re still solving the question from @pderuiter ! :stuck_out_tongue:

As answer on the question: They do a DNA analysis on the remains?

You’re getting closer… But who does this? Hint: Not the airport itself. They send it somewhere

They send it to the “Smithsonian Institution, Feather Identification Lab”

Correct. What is left of the bird gets sent to the Smithsonian, where they compare it to the specimens they have there.

All this, just so they have the correct species on their bird strike reports :slight_smile:

Quite a lot of work! But it seems to be important to know this so that they can take countermeasures. :slight_smile:

There actually seems to be a dentist in the Austin Airport, too.
