According to a account sourced from the BBC truckers using a park and ride car park in York got more than they bargained for when starving avian yummed up their wiper blades. One motorist named John Foster charged the avian menace for destroying at least six pairs of wiper blades; this act is not unusual in the animal kingdom. According to a spokesman for the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds (RSPB) the birds are tantalized to the rubber found in wiper blades which include a tasty constituent they seem to find irresistible.
To abort further attacks of bird on wipers acrimony the spokesmen for the RSPB went on to advocate coating replacement wiper blades with aluminium ammonium sulphate which the winged bullys find much less unappetising. This suggestion has apparently done the trick as the scoundrels appear to have since moved on to greener pastures. A Mr Foster from Green Hammerton in York was quoted as expressing extreme surprise on finding out who the wipers suspects were. Apparently Mr Foster thought human vandals were behind the rash of wipers damage, at any rate the local replacement wiper blades industry were recorded as having a booming business. His account goes on to state that after many replacement wiper blades strangley disappeared before he identified the annoying avian culprits. He went on to recount how he was driving home one night and he saw the rubber on his wiper blades starting to peal off, guessing it was natural wear and tear he soon bought some replacement wiper blades. After this occurred the second time he started to sense the replacement wiper blades he got were some how faulty and took them back to the store for a refund. Then one day after a difficult days work in the office he came back to his car to find little bits of rubber wipers stripped off and spread all over the place.
The bird brains could not conceal their crime any longer the trail of blame was just too big to cover up. After a brief chat with the park and ride attendant the startling bombshell that crows were responsible for this criminal enterprise was all too apparent when the staff member went on to show video evidence of the criminals in the act. Mr Foster who works in the complaints department at a large insurance company was quoted as being absolutely astounded when the burden of proof became indisputable; he just thought it was vandals. The final affect of this ongoing incident cost the victim in the region of one hundred pounds to buy replacement wiper blades, that’s around six wiper blades costing around sixteen pounds each. However the last laugh may be by Mr Foster who reports that a man is coming around to calculatingly trap the birds in a cage. This whole sorry saga could have been painlessly side tracked if the owners of the vehicle had purchased wiper blades made from the revolutionary substance called silicone. Silicone is one hundred percent disgusting and will not be ate by any creature animal or man. They also last significantly longer than rubber wiper blades, crows or not.
