Crow menace irks passengers at MIA

Mangaluru: Passengers flying from Mangaluru International Airport (MIA) have complained about the crow menace in the departure terminal.
Two days ago, one of the passengers with the Twitter handle @Devs0000 wrote, “At present, the situation at Mangalore airport is chaotic with crows flying around the gate causing disturbance to people. This has been a major concern among travelers as they have been encountering troubles due to these birds.” The passenger also posted pictures and videos of crows sitting on chairs and flying high inside the terminal.
Another passenger, who recently flew to Dubai from MIA with her family, said that they had noticed crows inside the terminal. “We had noticed crows sitting on the ceiling and also on chairs,” she complained.
MIA sources claim that they are making all efforts to rid the airport of the crows. “We used traps, but the crows avoid them and sit on the ceiling. Since runway works are underway and hence closed during the daytime, all the doors are kept open so that crows fly out. However, nothing has been working in our favour. Crows continue to come inside the terminal,” a source said.
Another official from MIA added that they will make sure that passengers will not face any inconvenience in the coming days.
