Hundreds of birds have died since New Year’s Eve in Rome, animal protection organizations said today, cited by the Associated Press.
A video taken near the main station in the Italian capital shows dozens of birds, mostly starlings, lying lifeless on the ground.
The cause of death is not clear, but according to the International Organization for the Protection of Animals, it is related to the loud explosions of pirates and fireworks in this green area, where many birds nest.
“It is possible that they have died of fear. It is possible that they have crashed in the sky or hit against windows or electrical cables. Let’s not forget that they too can die of a heart attack,” said Loredana Dilio, a spokeswoman for the organization. .
In Rome, a 22-hour curfew is in effect and a ban on the use of personal fireworks was in effect, which was largely ignored last night.
