Years ago the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk was wanting to install a new tower drop ride that exceeded the height restriction of the area and appealed to the City Council. The opponents were arguing that birds would fly into the tower. One of my favorite rebuttal quotes came from a site engineer:
"We are confident that successful bird species will be able to avoid colliding with the tower"
The ride is in place today.
