Rat poison kills exotic zoo birds


Still Waters

Recommended Posts

A group of exotic birds have died at a zoo after eating rat poison.

Drusillas Park, near Berwick, Sussex, said 11 rainbow lorikeets were accidentally killed in their enclosure after a pest control company put toxic bait underground to catch rats.

A spokeswoman for the zoo said "very unfortunately" the birds ate some residual bait dropped by the rats.

The Eastbourne Animal Rights Action group was tipped off to the deaths by a whistle-blowing employee.

They should have known something like this would happen. What a careless, indeed, stupid, thing to have done.

Not only did those poor birds die, they died painfully.
