That never happened to me. We don't use black trash bags, just the white
tall kitchen can bags that are tied and not made as air-tight as
twist-tied black bags.

We have private carting via the county's contract. We are outside the
city limits. There are lots of birds here and I've seen plenty of hawks
and turkey buzzards, but not over my trash can.
