'Seeing the dead bodies and picking them up was just truly heartbreaking,' said Kelly Lacey, a bird coordinator who had been caring for the flock.
Kelly Lacey, who works as a bird coordinator for the New South Wales Wildlife Information, Rescue and Education Service , has been looking after populations of birds she suspected were poisoned from eating mouse bait.
In her post, Lacey added that of the two live galahs she salvaged from the flock, one died in the car ride home. She also clarified that while she does support reducing the vast mice population, she does not condone the use of"poisoned grain" that might harm other species."Seeing the dead bodies and picking them up was just truly heartbreaking." She also said she saw blood in the birds' feces, leading her to suspect that the poison caused internal bleeding.
"The safe baiting of mice is an important step in reducing mice numbers," explained Dwyer,"and pesticide users must make sure they handle baits safely and are careful to always follow the directions on the label to protect their family, [neighbors], domestic animals, wildlife and the environment from harm."
