EPA seeks information after pigeons killed by insecticide in Moree
The NSW Environment Protection Authority (EPA) is seeking information from the public after receiving a report that around fifty pigeons were found dead in the eastern industrial area of Moree.
EPA officers collected two of the dead birds and sent them for analysis at the Department of Planning, Industry and Environment’s (DPIE) environmental forensic laboratory.
EPA Manager of Regional Operations Lindsay Fulloon said the EPA, as the regulator responsible for pesticide use, was exploring the possibility that the birds may have been deliberately targeted.
“The toxicology results show that the bird deaths were caused by the insecticide Methomyl, which is toxic to birds and other wildlife,” Mr Fulloon said.

Distributed throughout the landscape, the archaeology of First Nations Australia is everywhere. Stone artefacts are not rare, but ubiquitous, common, and yet each is unique; as individual as the hands that made and used them.
While the dictum of Terra Nullius was overturned by the High Court with the Mabo decision of 1992, the idea of the ‘emptiness’ of Australia largely retains its power in the imaginative consciousness of white Australia.
The livelihood of its original inhabitants has historically been seen as marginal and precarious, and the population thought of as thinly spread therefore a narrative built on the damage wrought by European diseases and social displacement and violence in the early decades of colonisation.
