First of all, these are tramway tracks, and they’re usually inside of very urban areas which don’t have many animals roaming around.
Secondly, I’m no expert, but I would argue that this sort of low cut grass will mainly attract insects. This might to birds being encouraged to find food there sure. But city birds are used to traffic and will most likely dodge tramways
Only rational argument in this thread. I don’t think it would cause a genocide of urban animals, but it’s just annoying that a city would put something attractive to them in the path of a literal train
Seems dubious, but I’m curious if animals genuinely have a comparable hit rate on regular tracks vs grass filled rails.
It’s probably marginal.
