I had such high hopes when they released peregrine falcons in Chicago. They told us the majestic predators would nest among the tall buildings and would help to control the pigeon infestation. I was excited about the prospect of seeing an elderly person sitting on a bench and feeding the pigeons suddenly covered in feathers and pigeon parts as a falcon tore through the flock. Of course, I also figured this would eventually lead to a further imbalance in the ecosystem as the falcons turned on the humans. I couldn't wait to see what we would release into our environment next. (Flying Piranha? Pteranodons? Dragons?) (Must stop watching SyFy channel...)
Sadly, there was no pigeon carnage. It turns out that falcons have more self-respect than that.
I'm wondering if we should rethink that decsion to cancel the dragon option.
