They use Falcons, dogs, pigs and firecrackers! Read article to see just how many birds and mammals are killed by aircraft.

Varieties of seagulls posed the biggest problem at waterfront JFK. From 1998 through 2010, Adam's company had two people at JFK with 20 falcons flying from sunrise to sunset, from May 1 to Oct. 31.
