"Holy crap; a flying post-it note!"
"No, wait ..."
Back up a few days.
Start with an animal or bird that has thick fluff or feathers. An emu springs to mind. Find a dead one. Coat it generously with slow-drying, non-toxic fluorescent paint. Leave it on a rural verge.
A hungry raptor
comes to feast on its guts, and gets painted.
So, next time the same raptor goes to scavenge some road kill, approaching drivers have a better chance of seeing it before running it over.
tl;dr Gilets jaunes for vultures.

And then the paint you just put on the raptor makes it easier for live prey to spot its approach, or another predator like an eagle, coyote, or cougar, and whilst you HAVE succeeded in saving it potentially from a traffic death, you've condemned it to die nonetheless. |
