Ind. Courts - "Crows invade Fulton Co. Courthouse trees"
ROCHESTER, Ind. — A large flock of crows is creating a mess around the Fulton County Courthouse.For about a month, hundreds of noisy crows have been roosting in trees and making a mess on the west side of the courthouse in Rochester, about 40 miles south of South Bend.
County Commissioner Roger Rose says it’s the first time crows have invaded the courthouse grounds.
Commissioners plan to use an electronic distress call to scare the crows and force them to scatter. Purdue University Extension Educator Mark Kepler says the only other way to scare the crows is with explosions, which can’t be used in a downtown area.
Kepler says the crows should eventually disperse from the courthouse in the spring to mate and nest.
