00:00No matter how advanced a design you make for the plane, how will you stop bird hits?

00:07You took away their homes.

00:09Do you know what tempts those poor birds?

00:15There is grass on both sides of the runway and in that grass are tiny insects.

00:21The birds come drawn by that temptation because you took away their natural homes.

00:26In a way, it's not that the bird hit the plane, it's the plane that hit the bird.

00:32Technically it's not even called a bird hit, it's called bird ingestion.

00:38The jet engine sucks the bird in and ingests it.

00:41A jet engine doesn't just pull in one bird, it sucks in the entire flock.

00:47And the more you keep destroying the homes of animals, the more they'll keep coming closer

00:53to your cities, neighbourhoods and airports.

00:56No bird wants to come out in 50 degree heat.

01:00Birds generally.

01:01What is the time when they are most active?

01:04Morning and evening.

01:05Especially in this heat you won't hear much chirping.

01:08But why are the birds out?

01:09Because they aren't finding food in the morning and evening.

01:11And when they can't find food during those times, they are forced to search.

01:16Even in the afternoon, hoping to find something to eat.

01:19Why aren't they finding food?

01:20Because the places where they used to find food have now been occupied by humans.

01:24No bird wants to come near humans.

01:25If you go near a bird, have you seen what it does immediately?

01:29You're forcing the birds to come near you because you took their place, their trees, their food.

01:34What are they supposed to do?

01:35They don't even have space to build nests anymore.

01:38You've spread out everywhere.
