Experts find out the true reason for this unusual phenomenon
Mass death of crows in Kara-Balta is not caused by frosts or bird flu. Vat.kg, ex-deputy head of the State Inspectorate for Sanitary, Veterinary and Phytosanitary Security Samat Aliyev said.

According to him, the birds could not die as a result of small frosts.

"The fact that now the subzero temperature is just" flowers ", and crows are sufficiently adapted to such temperatures," he noted. - I think that the reason lies in another. I also studied this issue and found out that specialists are already investigating the cause of this phenomenon. I believe that soon they will know why they could die.

Aliyev also stressed that crows rarely die from various infectious diseases, as they are perhaps the most enduring birds.
