Having checked the calendar to make sure it isn't April 1, I can only
say that I would like to know what the council used as I wouldn't mind
attracting a few more birds around here.

Bridgeport residents overwhelmed by birds
October 12, 2009 (CHICAGO) (WLS) -- An issue reminiscent of a
Hitchcock
movie has people in one Chicago neighbourhood quite upset.
Bridgeport residents in the 3200-block of South Parnell say they're
sick and
tired of the birds. They contend that the city of Chicago came out
six weeks
ago and injected something into the trees that attracts birds.
Between all the squawking and bird droppings, residents say they
can't spend
much time outside.
"We hear this constant noise, and the birds are constantly flying
around,
swarming, and doing their business, laying excrement all over the
cars, on
the sidewalk, in the street. We basically can't walk down the sidewalk
without getting hit by these birds," said resident Paul Piraino.
Area residents tell ABC7 they have contacted the city about the
problem but
have not received a response.
ABC7 Chicago called the streets and sanitation department but was
told there
would be no comment because of the Columbus Day holiday.
