Plum Island homeowners recently received a notice from the Town of Newbury warning that it had "become aware of the use of devices and materials intended to deter" protected shorebirds from using local beach and dune systems. The letter listed "mylar streamers, flags, [and] reflective materials" as examples of such devices.
The letter, obtained by Fox News Digital, goes on to caution that "activities intended to deter protected shorebirds from utilizing suitable habitat may be viewed as harassment or disruption of normal feeding, nesting, or migratory behavior," which is prohibited under the state and federal Endangered Species Acts, and "carry significant regulatory and financial penalties."
"Non-compliance may result in state or federal enforcement actions and, thus, the Town urges residents to comply with applicable state and federal wildlife protection laws," the notice states.

The article indicates that ALL flags, and other flag-like items (streamers) endanger birds.
The letter listed "mylar streamers, flags, [and] reflective materials" as examples of such devices
Urges. Not requires.
Ignore.
No, read the article.
Despite the clickbait headline, the article says nothing about Fourth of July flags. ALL flags are said to endanger birds.
THis is the cherry on top of the fact that MANY towns/cities have cancelled or “unfunded” local fireworks.
You know what else is dangerous for birds? Windows. They don’t understand the concept of reflections so when they see trees and grass reflected in windows they fly right into them. Dumbasses. Let natural selection do its thing.
However Juneteenth and Pride flags are perfectly fine, I’m sure.“
As are the idiotic windmills and solar farms that kill millions of birds.
Are wind farms still OK?
Yeah. But note that this issue is arising just as July 4th on our 250th national birthday approaches. Hey, take down EVERY flag. Right now. Of course, in a few months it's possible that this won't be such a huge deal. Maybe later it will be OK to fly a flag or two. But right now? It would be an awful crime against humanity.
So many pathetic fools...so little time.
I wonder if some sort of Audubon birdie flag is OK???
To be fair it does make Chickens, Blue-haired Boobies, and Fluffy-backed Tit-babblers shite themselves.
Let them eat windmills. Apologies to Marie Antoinette.
Indeed.
And the raghead crescent, too.
It’s a wonder there are any birds existing since flags have been flying for many, many years...
The ignorant fools just decided today that the flags were a deadly menace to birds....
IT WAS NOT A PROBLEM UNTIL AMERICA’S 250th BIRTHDAY???
For anyone who thinks this isn’t really about banning anything patriotic...
Are fireworks banned at this locale...?
That’s quite a list...

Guess what they don’t like?
Fireworks.
Flags don’t come in for a mention.
