Video footage of the roads near the main train station in the Italian capital showed scores of birds - mostly starlings - dead on the ground.
The reason was not certain, but the International Organisation for the Protection of Animals said it looked likely that firecrackers and fireworks set off in the leafy neighbourhood that many birds use to roost had been the cause.
