On April 30th at 6am Manchester Airport will be sending 5 Men,
armed with guns with the intention to kill all the birds in the Dunham Massey Rookery.
The Rooks have been living in these nests forever.

The Airport's intention is to try and prevent bird strikes,
which of course is essential as obviously humans safety is paramount,
but killing these rooks will not solve the problem at the airport.

The birds have been observed for many years
and have been living permanently in this rookery,
circling this area (not the airport )
where they have everything they need and an abundance of food!

The airport needs to address its safety issues on site
i.e. using appropriate deterrents and eliminating rubbish
(a regular food source for migrating birds in winter) .

They are a huge part of the cycle of life at Dunham Massey,
it will be a devastating loss and the damage is irreversible.

If you feel strongly that this should be stopped and want to contact Mr. R D Taylor ( the airfield operations manager ) please call: (+44) 07958 877258

Thank you .
