Drug Banned in Asia Diclofenac Poisons Rare European Vultures

Apr 11, 2021 11:59 PM EDT (Photo : Karen Alchin) (Photo : Pixabay) After it was discovered that diclofenac killed vultures that consumed cattle carcasses treated with the drug, it was outlawed in India, Pakistan, Nepal, and Bangladesh. Hundreds of millions of vultures are thought to have died due to this, with some birds dwindling by 99.9% in areas of South Asia. Despite this, diclofenac was accepted in Spain and other European countries because producers, drug makers, and regulators claimed that cattle carcasses in Europe were handled differently than in India. Vultures will be unable to consume meat contaminated with diclofenac as a result of this.

Best bird feeder 2021: Affordable bird feeding stations for gardens and patios

What are the main types of bird feeder? Seed feeder: Filled with either sunflower seed or a seed mix, these feeders will attract a range of birds including tits, siskins and greenfinches. Cylindrical and transparent, they are mounted on hooks and feature portholes that dispense seeds to small birds that are able to land on the feeder. Avoid buying one with plastic portholes or a plastic lid – squirrels will wreck these in no time. Nut feeder: Like seed feeders, nut feeders are also tubular but use a steel mesh to dispense the food. Birds can perch on the feeder and eat small pieces of peanut through the mesh, which needs to be large enough to avoid trapped beaks but small enough to stop birds from pulling out large pieces. Never use salted or dry roasted peanuts and always buy your peanuts from a reputable supplier to eliminate the risk of aflatoxin, a natural toxin that can kill birds.
