Every winter and spring, when night falls, flocks of birds will fly from other places to gather around the station, 'chi chi zha zha' until the night darkens, the bird calls gradually weaken. In the morning, after a night's rest, the birds have already flown away, almost every day is the same.

Once, bird droppings fell into the teacup, which was really frustrating. According to nearby residents, at first some people used shouting and setting off firecrackers to drive away the flock of birds, but later they found it didn't work, so they just let it go.
Now, whenever the bird flock appears, the residents avoid getting hit by bird droppings, some use umbrellas, some panic and hide under eaves. Scattered bird droppings are everywhere along the street, emitting a pungent smell. Everyone hopes that relevant departments can find a way to deal with it.

One is the European robin, which appears in clusters in cities in winter and spring, they like to stand upright on wires; the other is the (magpie), they like to stand on trees; and the other may be the white eyed jays, but this kind of bird is not common.
Mr. Lu Gang said that besides the human attempt to avoid, he also has no better way. 'These are migratory birds, estimated to be about half a month, they will migrate north to fly.' Mr. Lu Gang finally suggested that if the bird flock does not cause losses to residents' production and life, it is recommended to wait a period of time, and the bird flock will migrate north. Otherwise, it is advised to seek assistance from the Forestry Department to see if they can use scientific methods to drive them away.
