Breaking News: Poisoning Incident at Plankstadt Bird Park
Plankstadt, Germany - A tragic incident has unfolded at the Plankstadt Bird Park, where an unusual find has led to a suspicion of poisoning.
The Discovery
On Monday afternoon, a member of the Plankstadt Bird Park association discovered more than 20 dead birds in a large aviary. Among the deceased were budgerigars, cockatiels, and finches. The crumbs found near the birds were an unusual brown-gray color, leading to the assumption that they may have been contaminated.
Suspicions and Investigations
The association chairman, Sven Berlinghof, has filed a report against unknown visitors who threw breadcrumbs into the aviary. He suspects that these crumbs, possibly spoiled or deliberately poisoned, may have caused the bird deaths. Investigations are ongoing to identify the culprits and determine the exact substance used.
Immediate Response
Upon discovering the incident, the park temporarily closed the affected aviary for a thorough cleaning and implemented stricter security measures. Staff have increased monitoring and restricted public access to certain areas. The park is also raising public awareness, urging visitors to report any unusual behavior or findings during their visits.
Ongoing Support
The park's veterinary team intervened promptly to treat affected birds and prevent further fatalities. Some of the affected animals were saved with medication, while others were unfortunately too late to be saved.
The Plankstadt Bird Park expresses its deepest sympathies to those affected by this incident and remains committed to ensuring the safety and well-being of its animal inhabitants.
This is a developing story, and further updates will be provided as more information becomes available.
The park staff have decided to collaborate with local environmental-science experts to investigate the mysterious colored crumbs found near the deceased birds, hoping to shed light on the poisoning incident.
Out of concern for the health-and-wellness of the remaining birds and as a precautionary measure, park officials are also reaching out to nearby science institutions for advice and potential assistance in testing the water and soil samples within the aviary.
