At this time when crow nesting became popular, crow nest removal work was carried out in Goshogawara City, Aomori Prefecture, in order to prevent power outages caused by the nests built on utility poles.
Crows have a habit of nesting in high places such as on utility poles from March to May during the breeding season, and if the metal hanger used as the material touches the electric wire, a power outage may occur.
For this reason, the Tohoku Electric Power Network is removing the crow's nest on the utility pole every year at this time, and on the 20th, I worked in the Kanagi district of Goshogawara city.
When the worker got into the aerial work platform, he removed the nest of about 60 cm in diameter built on the utility pole about 10 meters high in about 5 minutes.
According to the Tohoku Electric Power Network, seven power outages, which are thought to be caused by crow's nests, occurred in Aomori Prefecture last year, and about 2,400 nests were removed.
Masaya Saito of the Tohoku Electric Power Network Goshogawara Electric Power Center said, "Our mission is not to turn off the electricity, so we patrol every day to remove it. We found a crow's nest on a utility pole in your area. If so, please contact me immediately. "
