[China] Bird killing at Boashan airport, Yunnan 雲南保山機場霧網殺雀長城陣

Unfortunately, this is likely to be very inefficient and ineffective way of reducing bird strikes. It targets species that are relatively small and thus less of a hazard. Further, if the nets are not cleared frequently, the number of dead and dying birds attracts larger scavengers such as crows, shrikes and certain raptors that are more likely to be a problem. The airport would be better managing the habitat to reduce bird attraction and ascertaining the identity of birds actually struck by aircraft, in order to target those in some way instead.
