The influx of Crows in Troy is a problem of our own making. When Green Island officials approved the development of Starbuck Island, they failed to consider the impacts on the crows that regularly roosted there.
With the trees replaced with boxy apartments, the migrating crows were forced into downtown Troy, whose infrastructure made for sufficient perches, lights made for easier hunting, and trash made for a supplementary food source, while allowing access to fresh water of the Hudson.

TROY, NY - This afternoon, the Troy DSA #DefundTroyPD working group submitted multiple Freedom of Information Law (FOIL) requests with the city of Troy for the disciplinary records of multiple police officers considered to be infamously brutal by community members.
The requests come after a sustained outcry from Troy residents calling on the Troy City Council and @MayorMadden to release the personnel files of Troy Police officers following the repeal of section 50-a of the New York State Civil Rights Law, which they refused to do.
