While at first residents didn't mind the birds, they've become a nuisance in the town. Their early-morning squawking keeps residents up late at night and early in the morning, and their droppings have caused cleanup costs to skyrocket.
Larry Klein, the mayor of Sunnyvale, California, says the bird population in his city has been on the rise in recent months.
In fact, Klein told The Washington Post that he often avoids the city's white-splattered sidewalks so his dog won't walk through the mess. City employees armed with green laser pointers have taken to shining the lights at murders of crows perched in trees. Others blast loud music from boomboxes. Officials have even hung effigies of crows throughout the city to try and spook the birds into leaving.
