BIRD FLU- MEGA THREAD


Bombadil

Recommended Posts

Even though I cannot produce any evidence to support this, with the amount of sewage and plastic waste of the Cornish coast, it would be interesting to get true statistics for bird deaths here. I’ve only seen one dead bird on my beach walks. A Gannet if I remember correctly.

If you ever get the opportunity, go up on the roof of any big box store, you'll find quite the graveyard, but not in nesting season, those gulls will cover you in shit and it stinks! :classic_dry:

I was wondering whether someone was trying to poison our local pigeons. Lots of them live under a bridge on the footpath. Seed is scattered near where they roost and then later the seed is covered with white or red powder. I don't know what the powder is, but hope it's not poison (lots of dogs are walked there too)

No, city Pigeons (Rock Pigeons) are rancid rats with wings as was once called, they really are vermin and carriers of all kinds of nastiness, the poop is a known carcinogen so if cleaning out an infestation DO wear breathing apparatus, goggles and protective clothing, and not some silly paper tissue with elastic bands around your ears, the only Pigeons that i know that are anywhere near approachable are wood pigeons, easily identifiable as they have have black and white stripes around their necks and stay out of the towns.

Councils do put poison down to keep the infestation down, and is usually where they nest/congregate and away from the public, especially children.

Although not a wood pigeon this is a country pigeon, no one for hundreds of square yards. Same symptoms as the two rooks I saw hopping around all confused.

This fella only lifted his head when I came up close, was dead when I checked on him the next day.
Don’t think it was poisoned. 
 

I’m completely baffled

This is in a very public area on a footpath/bridle path with lots of children, dogs etc

The ones with a black band on the neck are collared doves, not pigeons. We have several pairs. But the ones I was talking about are wood pigeons, not townie flying rats.

Chemtrails, the bird population is no where near what it was before this nonsense broke out

 

That's a good theory and possibly one that can explain why WHOLE FLOCKS of birds have been known to drop dead from the sky over various parts of America.

 

That's not caused by bird flu!

Vastly more common than people realise are the deaths from colliding with wind turbines. Then there are the twats who cover trees and restrict resting areas.

I honestly believe there are too many possibilities. The combination of all the shitty things we do to this reality is create a perfect sort. For nature imo.
