“Canada’s capital has ordered drone strikes to rid a popular Ottawa beach of pesky geese that dirty the waters with fecal matter, demonstrating on Wednesday how it works. The hexacopter — a 26-inch-wide remote-controlled hobby aircraft that was adapted by its owner for pest control — takes off every morning at dawn and chases away the waterfowl sullying the Ottawa River near Petrie Island park on the city’s east side. ‘It’s been really effective,’ city councillor Bob Monette told AFP. The city even obtained a special ‘scare permit’ from wildlife authorities to bother the protected birds. The $30,000-a-year program is to continue through to the end of October.”
