The Velodrome in Grenchen is not in the headlines of 20 Minuten because of cycling, but because of birds: crows are scratching cars, and the roof and office windows are not safe from the animals either. As the online portal further reports, the managing director of the "Wädlitempel" Peter Wirz suspects human behavior as the cause of the crow plague, "the daily fast food waste mountains on Neumattstrasse are a paradise for the beautiful black animals", says Wirz.

In addition, 20 Minuten reports that Viktor Stüdeli, hunting warden for the town of Grenchen, considers Wirz's theory that young people repeatedly leave fast food waste in the parking lot of the nearby Badi parking lot to be very plausible. Stüdelin goes on to explain that the window seals of the velodrome could contain substances that the crows are after.

Hunting warden Stüdeli has now taken action and has already shot two crows. It now remains to be seen whether this measure will deter the birds from damaging cars and windows.
