webfact Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 Firecrackers Don’t Deter Krabi Swallow Swarm By Pravit Rojanaphruk, Senior Staff Writer This Sunday photo shows swallows perched atop electric cables in Krabi. KRABI — Residents were lighting firecrackers Sunday in their latest attempt to disperse thousands of swallows that swarmed into a southern town, hanging on electric cables and defecating onto the road below. Fifty households at an Ao Luek district intersection in Krabi province have reportedly been affected by the mass of birds of unknown origin, which villagers said spent the night perched on electricity cables at the intersection. They said they were concerned about the smell of the excrements and that those with allergies or respiratory problems complained, but authorities have not taken action so far.
