Bird sightings near the facility producing Mavericks and Bronco Sports footwear have plummeted by 80 percent following the introduction of a falconer hired by Ford, signaling a shift in wildlife behavior around the manufacturing site. The presence of trained birds of prey appears to have effectively deterred smaller bird species, raising questions about the ecological impact of such pest-control methods. Environmental groups are reportedly monitoring the situation to assess whether the decline in bird activity could affect local ecosystems. Details on how Ford implemented this approach and its long-term effects remain under review.
Bird activity at the plant that makes Mavericks and Bronco Sports has dropped 80 percent since Ford hired a falconer last year.
