Hundreds of parrots fell on Australian streets

The cockatoo is paralyzed on a neighborhood in Australia while the authorities have not found the cause.

About 200 Galah cockatoos died in Burra town in Australia's state of South Australia, prompting the state's Environment and Clean Water Agency and the local council to conduct an investigation. Dead birds began to appear from July 18 in increasing numbers. They looked healthy and did not encounter a full feeding situation, according to Strange Sounds.

Animal rescue and care coordinator Ruth Norris said it was difficult to determine the exact cause of Galah cockatoo's death."We wondered if anyone poisoned them like fertilizer or poison. All are mature and healthy parrots , " Norris said.

The parrot is found in a small area around the court and the police station on Sancreed Street, where the Galah cockatoo is crowded. According to Norris, it is unlikely that parrots will die from eating too full of germinated seeds on local farms because if so, the number of dead birds will be scattered in larger areas.

Revealed test results have very few seeds in the parrot's stomach."Their physical condition is intact, so this is not caused by weather or disease," Norris said.

Galah cockatoos are not protected in South Australia, but state regulations only allow them to be killed by shooting. David Stevenson, chairman of the local council, said they sent some parrots to the office of the Natural Resources Agency at Clare to investigate.
