Article Synopsis
- Bird collisions with overhead lines, like power and phone lines, are contributing to the decline of various bird species, particularly the endangered Canarian houbara bustard.
- A necropsy study of nine houbara bustards that collided with these lines showed that trauma was the cause of death for all, with common severe injuries including fractures and hemorrhages.
- The study found that many birds endure the initial impact and may survive for a short period (minutes to hours) before succumbing to their injuries, suggesting that post-trauma analysis techniques could help determine the timeline from injury to death.
