Warm weather brings to Perry large flocks of migratory turkey vultures, who roost on the Perry water tower and in sycamore trees around towns.
The annual invasion of turkey vultures is well underway in the Perry area, and the city leaders are looking for ways to turn away the roosting raptors, including killing a few to use to ward off the rest.
The Perry City Council approved Feb. 1 a resolution authorizing the application for renewal of the city’s Federal Migratory Bird Depredation (DPRD) permit through the Migratory Bird Permit Office in Minnesota, an office of the U.S. Department of the Interior’s U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.
Egret nesting can bring about issues like noise, odor, and significant amounts of excrement covering streets, sidewalks, cars, and mailboxes on public and private property, the City of Fort Worth said.
During a work session on Tuesday, Fort Worth officials will discuss how to prepare for egret nesting season.
Egrets have protected status under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act of 1918, so individuals cannot kill, harass, move, or disturb the birds once they have established a nest.
City staff said they are working with residents and neighborhood associations to identify birds and discourage nesting which is permitted by the Treaty. Under the Treaty, nesting cannot be discouraged once the nest has been made.
