A team from the Robins Safety office, Department of Agriculture and other safety organizations installs one of 24 bird cannons at the end of the Robins Air Force Base runway.

The system is part of an effort to minimize loss of Air Force resources and personnel from potentially hazardous wildlife populations around the runway.
