BERLIN — Berlin officials say they have rescued 1,500 parakeets from a two-room apartment.
City veterinarian Margit Platzer says the birds were flying freely around the apartment, which was “littered with feces, feathers and leftover food.”
Platzer says it took her team more than seven hours on Tuesday to catch all the birds with nets.
Local media reported that the owner gradually bought and bred the birds until his apartment was full.
