A street in Rome, Italy with strewn with dead birds after the 2021 new year celebrations. The dead birds were sighted at the termini train station. It is believed that the fireworks startled and disoriented the birds, causing them to fly into Windows and buildings. Light is know to have several consequence on bird behaviour. New Year Celebrations are know to cause great flares and heat in the skies. When birds encounter this unnatural atmospheric phenomena, they loose balance and orientation.
