This is just ridiculous
Story Here
Taken From Original Article:
"Making laps around the $1 billion-plus, mostly-taxpayer funded coliseum began at 6 a.m. and lasted two hours. The volunteers represented three conservation groups: Audubon Chapter of Minneapolis, Minnesota Citizens for the Protection of Migratory Birds, and Friends of Roberts Bird Sanctuary.
Their mission was to confirm the worst: To see if the stadium, with its 200,000 square feet of clear and reflective glass, is so indistinguishable to birds that the creatures crash into it like something out of an Alfred Hitchcock movie.
Welcome to the avian killing fields.
Among the casualties were 21 white-throated sparrows, nine ruby-throated hummingbirds, and one snow bunting, a.k.a., "snowflakes," an uncommon sighting for bird-watchers like Sharpsteen, who says he's never seen anything like this in downtown Minneapolis.
Over the course of the monitoring period, volunteers found 60 dead birds. Another 14 were discovered stunned, laying on the ground.
The findings, along with reports from maintenance staff and security guards, estimate that perhaps as many as 500 birds die annually as a result of the building."
I won't attach the images you can see them in the article
A local Minnesota Radio Station had an hilarious take on the birds and created their own "Awareness" advertisement for it
