More Dead Birds in the Park
September 18, 2006
Dead birds are again showing up in Wascana Centre. Since Sunday night, the Wascana Centre Authority says 26 Grackles have been found dead on the University of Regina campus, near the Luther College building.
Mostly grackles were among the 165 birds found dead in a different part of the park earlier this summer -- they were chalked up to poisoning from a type of pesticide, not used in the park. As of now, the authority has no reason to link the deaths...
Meantime, officials are advising the public to keep their pets on a short leash in the park. Besides the birds, three dogs also died of unusual circumstances over the summer. Officials also want you to report anything suspicious.
