In a horrifying incident, scores of birds were killed and their nests were destroyed after a giant tree was chopped down in Indian state of Kerala.
The horrifying incident that has gone viral on social media has been reported from VK Padi in Tirurangadi in Kerala’s Malappuram district.
In the viral video, several birds were seen taking off, as an earthmover pushed down the tree they had nested in, near a national highway development site. However, some of the baby birds who were unable to fly, or other birds who couldn’t fly because of the force of the fall, were crushed to their deaths. Notably, the tree was cut for the expansion of the national highway.
