Summary:

Anu Kuruvilla ByExpress News ServiceKOCHI: The flamingo, which broke its wings after it flew into the nylon rope fencing a shrimp tank, died on Tuesday night. According to him, bird deaths have been reported at Kadamakkudy and Kandakadavu areas since the wetlands in the district are one of the favourites spots for migratory birds. In the case of the flamingo, the nylon rope turned the villain. Kartha said, “Since these shrimp farms are located in remote areas that not frequented by people, these trapped birds remain unnoticed. The birds commonly found trapped in the nets are egrets, herons, kingfishers and many times house crows,” he added.According to Robin N X, a birder, most of the migratory birds arrive in areas like Kadamakudy, Kandakadavu and Kumbalangi..
