Hi all,

 

My daughter lives at Lowood in the Lockyer Valley.  Today she had over 370mm
of rain and her property is totally isolated but not flooded.  She reported
that the birds at her place are falling out of the trees dead, the birds she
mentioned were Crested Pigeons, Noisy Miners and Magpies.  Is this a common
phenomenon in periods of torrential rain?  I also live in South East
Queensland and have experienced many instances of torrential rain (although
not quite as heavy as today's) but have not seen birds die in any large
numbers.

 

Look forward to your comments.

 

Cheers,

Sandra Gallienne
