Over 80 parrots were discovered dead along the Narmada River banks in Khargone, Madhya Pradesh. A veterinary team investigated and ruled out bird flu, identifying food poisoning from an improper diet, potentially including pesticide-contaminated grains or pebbles, as the cause. The incident has raised concerns for wildlife conservation, particularly during winter scarcity, prompting authorities to urge the public not to feed contaminated food to birds and to report unusual deaths.
