ROTHERA BASE, Antarctica (Reuters) - The world's most southerly bird has become a threat to planes in Antarctica after developing a love for sitting on warm, snow-free airstrips. Science Green BusinessAir traffic experts are seeking ways to scare off the south polar skuas, a large and aggressive brown seabird, but without harming them. The birds are protected by the 47-nation Antarctic Treaty, which declares the frozen continent a nature reserve.At the British Rothera research station on the Antarctic Peninsula, about 100 skuas often sit on the 900 meter (3,000 ft) gravel runway. The odd penguin or seals can also be hazards.As part of the skua scaring ritual, large bangs are set off and then a runway worker drives a six-wheeled vehicle up and down the runway, swerving toward any remaining birds.

jetliner that made an emergency landing on the Hudson River on Thursday in which all 155 abroad survived had apparently struck a flock of birds.No birds have been hit this season at Rothera but there were minor strikes last year. They sometimes strike but usually veer off at the last moment. "It's like someone dropping a chicken on your head," said John Loines, a skua expert at Rothera.Not everyone dislikes the skuas, however.A photograph of Bubba hangs in a corridor below the Rothera control tower as the official "base skua." "Bubba is 29 years old," said Loines. He succeeded "George" and "Mildred" as official base skua.(Editing by Alison Williams) Science Green Business.
