Event Summary

Over 200 birds, including parrots, pigeons, doves, and sparrows, died on the banks of the India — Narmada River in India — Khargone district, India — Madhya Pradesh, due to suspected food poisoning. District wildlife warden Tony Sharma confirmed the deaths, which occurred over four days near an aqueduct bridge. Veterinary examinations, including post-mortems by Dr. Manish Chauhan, ruled out bird flu and indicated food toxicity. Dr. Bhupesh Baghel suggested improper feeding practices, pesticide exposure from sprayed fields, and contaminated river water as contributing factors. Rice and small pebbles were found in the stomachs of the deceased birds. Authorities have banned feeding near the aqueduct bridge and sent viscera samples to India — Jabalpur for further analysis.
