Over 150 parrots have died near the Narmada River in Madhya Pradesh's Khargone district over the past few days. Post-mortem examinations have ruled out bird flu, with preliminary findings indicating food poisoning as the cause. Officials suspect improperly fed food, possibly containing pesticides or unsuitable human food, led to the deaths. The forest department has banned feeding near the aqueduct bridge where the carcasses were found.
