A bird cannon causes a loud blast, followed by predatory
Summary
A bird cannon causes a loud blast, followed by predatory bird calls on two loud speakers as a CH-47F Chinook helicopter readies for take-off April 22, 2014 at Camp Humphreys, South Korea. Bird cannons are used to deter wildlife from migrating on the airfield. They are set to fire at random times, twice an hour, so the birds can’t learn or predict the blast.
