Driver deliberately kills 14 protected corellas in Perth

Authorities are looking into a shocking incident in Perth, Australia, where 14 native birds were killed. A jogger saw a driver of a 4WD vehicle deliberately drive onto a roadside nature strip to hit a group of corellas feeding there. This happened in the North Beach area on Sunday morning. Tracey Smith, a local resident, reported the incident after coming across the scene. She described how the driver plowed through the flock, killing 11 birds instantly. Three others were later euthanized at a veterinary clinic. Photos show clear tire marks from the vehicle, indicating the driver went off the main road. The RSPCA of Western Australia is conducting an open investigation. They are asking anyone with information to come forward. Tracey, who comforted a distressed woman who witnessed the act, posted about it on social media to help find the driver. Local residents reacted with outrage, calling the incident "sickening" and "disgusting." In Australia, all native wildlife is protected by law. This means harming them can lead to serious consequences, including possible imprisonment or hefty fines. Corellas, although not all native to Perth, are still under this protection.
