Hundreds of Dead Birds found near Dubbo
Submitted by Chickowee on 08 Mar 2014.
Wildlife Information and Rescue Service volunteers have been responding to rescue calls with hundreds of native birds found dead or extremely ill in the Troy Reserve area. Around 25 birds have been rescued so far but hundreds are reported to have died with WIRES volunteers saying calls from the public are still coming in. It appears that a significant number of corellas have been killed, but sulphur crested cockatoos and galahs have also been effected.
