Hey Everyone,
I've been going through the park lately, and it's come to my attention that I have never seen any ducks or birds inside of any attraction.
Today while in line for It's A Small World, there were some ducks sitting in the water, getting close to the opening, then they would fly back a little and do the same again.
What is Disney doing here? A fan that runs when there are no boats present? High-frequency sound?
Ever notice those carts selling the drumsticks?
Beat me to it.Quote:

disney has trouble with ducks on the monorail beams. monorail has to stay put till duck moves.
I would like to know how they keep pigeons away.
Always makes me laugh. x)

Actually, it is a lower frequency sound. It plays in a loop at all times the attraction is open and can be heard with the naked ear.Quote:

In actuality, I am not sure what their wildlife management techniques are. You would think that there would be more things like pigeons trying to exploit the free meals that a place like Disneyland provides. I know they keep the cats fed to keep down the critter population, but aside from that, no idea.

Ironically, there are videos of the Pilots honking the horn like life depends on it, and the ducks just sit there.
Assuming the MR's have air brakes and the on-board air they have, they should just rig up a nozzle to squirt a blast of air at them.
As far as duck population, certain birds pick off the little ones before they get too big. Circle of life.
What is truly amazing, is watching the crows at dusk. They fly around and jostle for position on the higher branches. Must be some kind of seniority nesting.
That is hysterical!! I've never seen that before!Quote:
