Construction of the new Tehachapi (Calif.) Hospital was temporarily delayed when pigeons invaded the construction site, according to an article on the Tehachapi News website.
“We had pigeons get in and start to roost in the ceiling work,” Stacey Pray, project manager for the new hospital, said in the article. “It took several weeks to get them all out, and then we had to get a hazmat team to clean out the debris.”
The bond money voted on by the public will run out in May, but the district still has money in reserves to cover the construction for next few months.
The rest of the funding to complete the hospital is expected to come from Adventist Health with a “yes” vote from the public on June 7 to approve the affiliation with Adventist.
