(CBS DETROIT) – The players preparing for the 2024 NFL Draft in Detroit aren’t the only ones touting a hefty resume.
Cersei and Yahtzee are two birds of prey who take on the arduous task of pooping before the trip.
The two birds essentially serve as scarecrows, sitting on the arms of their owners, Paul Thomas and Terese of ScAir Force Falconry.
“It’s fun to come in and break down what’s going on. We’ve tried different methods of bird control and figured out what works and then found those combinations and put them together so that we’re actually able to control the birds in the area is quite a challenge, and it’s fun for us,” Thomas said.
Commissioned by Bedrock Detroit, the experts use a variety of tools, aside from birds of prey, to prevent smaller birds from pooping along the side of buildings and making a mess.
Thomas says they’ve been working on it for a few weeks and will continue working for months after the design.
“It was cool to really be a part of the design and a part of the city that we love. One of our favorite parts of the job is interacting with the people and talking to the people of Detroit and seeing their excitement at seeing the birds, and they really embraced us,” Thomas said.
