Rome : On Friday, animal rights groups revealed that hundred of birds died after many people set off fireworks in the Italian capital on New Year's Eve. As per reports, footage of streets near Rome's main train station showed dozens and dozens of birds mostly starlings scattered lifeless on the ground. The cause of the deaths was not clear. The International Organization for the Protection of Animals stated that it appeared related to a particularly loud display of firecrackers and fireworks in the leafy neighborhood that many birds use to nest.  Loredana Diglio, a spokeswoman for the organization said that fireworks displays each year cause distress and injury to both wild and domestic animals. The reports say that the Italian branch of OIPA has called for a ban on selling firecrackers and fireworks for personal use citing the threat to animals.
