They flew from the trees to the ambulance, flew several meters and then fell dead on the ground. Authorities collected the dead birds and sent them for analysis. "Now we are waiting for the results," said Mapi Rodriguez, president of the local citizens' association for Bild.
Died of electric shock?
The results of the preliminary analysis indicate that the cause of death of the birds may be electricity. Namely, the birds fly very close to each other, and if one of them encounters an electric cable, it can easily transmit an electric shock to the other birds in the group, writes Spain News Today.
But to find out the exact cause of death of these birds, we have to wait for the official results of the analysis.
