Contrary to the views of Shahin Vafai McKinnie (Kenmore Reporter, Jan. 28, 2011), residents of Kenmore have something new to celebrate with the peace that came with the migration of the crows from this area.

These aggressive and messy birds had taken to making all sorts of racket as they went home northwards late in the afternoons leaving their whitey droppings all over the roofs, pavements and cars. They even dug out our pretty lawns in search of whatever it is they look for.

The crows gangs are known to tip over garbage as they rummage for food scrappings and therefore presented a potential health hazard by  spreading infectious diseases.

I believe that left unattended, they would eventually take control of all the clean open spaces we have. I therefore suggest that a solution be found to limit their rapid breeding, or perhaps divert their homing route elsewhere so we can continue to have a quiet and serene environment that we so desire in Kenmore.
