Mass bird deaths in New South Wales
The
Dubbo community have been asked to help solve a mystery that has
resulted in the deaths of hundreds of native birds, including galahs,
correllas and cockatoos.
While there were indications the birds died from ingesting a pesticide, a spokeswoman from the NSW Environment Protection Authority said they were still waiting on final test results to confirm the cause of the deaths.
"The early indication is that pesticide was involved...(and) hopefully we will have the test results soon," she said.
In the meantime, the spokeswoman asked for any members of the community with information to call the EPA's EnviroLine on 131 555 to help investigators.
The NSW Wildlife Information, Rescue and Education Service (WIRES) also called for people with information to step forward, as the number of dead birds continued to rise.
