In the aftermath of the famous bird strike incident in New York on Jan 16 2009 that cause a US Airways Jet to lose power in both engines, NY Airport officials have made promises to put down birds in the NY area. This week more then 250 birds mainly geese were rounded up in Prospect park, JFK, & LGA Airports. NY wants to make the surrounding area near the airports a bird free zone. Dealing with birds in a humane way has always been the goal. However, in recent years officials have been executing birds to  reduce their population which has been getting out of control in recent years. Ninety percents of bird strikes cause little damage to aircraft. A smaller number like 8 percent actually cause enough damage for an airplane to return back for landing. There have been four accidents in the last fifty years involving birds strikes. Two of the four accidents had been fatal.
