Exotic breeding uncovered
MOLINA DE SEGURA Town Council and Local Police recently intervened in an illicit exotic bird breeding operation in Los Conejos, Molina de Segura, prompted by a noise complaint from concerned neighbours.
The unauthorised facilities housed over 250 birds of different breeds. Authorities found the house lacking the necessary permits required rendering the breeding op eration illegal.
Upon investigating the location, Local Police officers and Public Health inspectors from the town council discovered numerous cages filled with Love Birds, originally from Africa, alongside parakeets and cockatoos.
The wellbeing and conservation of these species raised concerns.
To address the issue, the Directorate General of Live
MURCIA City Council has approved the Drought Emergency Plan to optimise water resource consumption during scarcity. The plan classifies drought scenarios into prealert, alert, and emergency levels, with corresponding voluntary and compulsory measures.
Prealert focuses on increasing resource availability, reducing demand, and improving water usage efficiency. Alert level aims for a 10 per cent consumption reduction through conservation measures.
Emergency situations prioritise extending available resources, with a 15 per cent mandatory consumption reduction for lowerpriority uses.
Voluntary measures include remote meter reading, fraud management, and awareness stock, Fisheries, and Aquaculture of the Autonomous Community was promptly informed, and further actions were taken to ensure animal health and compliance with regulations.
This intervention serves as a reminder of the importance of responsible exotic bird breeding practices within the bounds of the law to protect the welfare of the animals and the community.
