Lots transfers have been invading for weeks, as has been the case for years, the trees of many areas of the city of Rome. Especially the trees in the piazzale dei Cinquecento, in front of Termini Station, are full of them and the Atac drivers had already reported this fact in recent days. Probably frightened by the New Year's barrels, on the night of the first day of 2021 they ran away in fear and many crashed into high voltage wires throughout the historic center of Rome. Result: hundreds of small birds have died and are now invading the roadways, as evidenced by some photographs published on the site Welcome to Favelas.
The common starling (Sturnus vulgaris) is usually about 20 centimeters long and weighs 70 to 80 grams. Just two weeks ago the Capitoline Councilor of the League, Davide Bordoni, took it out on the transfer plan of the mayor Raggi: "Starlings and guano return to the capital but the Administration does not seem to notice it, the plan to mitigate the possible dangers and inconveniences is not there, the Rays junta as usual is late and did not prepare the countermeasures in time. With the starlings the problem of guano on the roads and sidewalks also returns, becoming a dangerous slippery mixture "(Fanpage).
