Tree Martins in Crisis at Rundle Mall | Sydney News

Adelaide’s tree martins are crashing through city life—over 1,700 injured or dead since December, mostly from glass collisions and wires. A council netting effort meant to curb droppings accidentally drew birds to Rundle Mall, where peak roosting swarms hit 20,000. Rescuers found nearly 1800 birds, with 600 fatalities and 256 needing vet care. Reflective stickers and wire covers are helping, but the birds’ skittish nature and unknown feeding grounds add urgency. Council will review findings next week as bird flu risks loom.
