Unprecedented mass poisoning of birds strikes Northern Serbia

Members of Bird Protection and Study Society of Serbia (BPSSS), BirdLife Serbia, have made a disturbing discovery in the agricultural land near the village of Nakovo, in northern Serbia. More than 800 lifeless birds were found scattered across the area. Among the casualties were at least 434 Rooks and 373 Jackdaws, both protected species. The circumstances indicate a mass poisoning incident, which is yet to be confirmed through laboratory analysis conducted by a veterinary institute. If confirmed, this incident would mark one of the largest instances of mass poisoning ever recorded in this part of Europe, according to ornithologists closely monitoring the situation.
