Birds Are Falling Out Of The Sky Dead, In Australia, Because Of Heat Exhaustion

Australia is burning in high temperatures for the past few days and it is taking a toll on all living organisms there.

People are not leaving rooms which have Air Conditioner and even they are blowing at maximum temperatures. People are dumping themselves in the pool or into the sea by the beach, basically doing everything to fight the heat. The wildfires raging in the country is certainly no help. It is not only humans there who are victims of the heat, animals are suffering too.

And animals do not even have the luxury to resort to cooling mediums like humans with mercury reaching nearly 50C degrees. Birds in Australia are literally falling dead from the sky from heat exhaustion.

A farmer, Bill Wallace poster pictures on Twitter which showed a couple of dead cockatoos who succumbed to the heat conditions. The caption read, ¡®The thermometer under the back verandah got to 48.9C today, not an official reading obviously, but it was enough to kill these sulphur crested cockatoos. I would like to hang them around Morrison's neck, as well as a few of his mates. How good is wildlife dying of heat stress?¡¯

Native Wildlife Rescue said that their team has been rescuing hundreds of flying foxes who aren't coping well with the heat.

On Facebook the organisation wrote, ¡®Flowing in from yesterdays record heat and very limited food supply the Grey Headed Flying Foxes taking it extremely tough. One of many colonies affected is the one in the Kangaroo Valley were in conjunction with other vaccinated members of the Shoalhaven Bat Clinic (also authorised through Wildlife Rescue South Coast Inc) we rescued approximately 100+ dependant babies today.

This was followed by the 140+ rescues from the day before. Devastatingly, for many Flying Fox mothers and their babies help came too late¡¯.

While these species are dying because of the heat, other animals in Australia, are dying because of wildfires.

Conditions have been unimaginable for loads of species across Australia, with some dying from the heat and others being incinerated by bushfires.
