Rescue operation for pigeons: Danger when demolishing on Damaschkeplatz!

Magdeburg, Deutschland - In Magdeburg, a planned bridge tear causes plenty of excitement. Not only the road is removed, but also potentially the home of many pigeons that have been nesting in narrow cavities under the bridge for years. As the MDR contacted the veterinary office before Easter to ensure protection for the feathered residents. But communication with the responsible authorities was tough. Five days before the announced demolition, the pigeon aid from the press learned about the planned measures and tried to achieve the building authority.

There should be a "careful demolition" at the sensitive areas, but the pigeon aid has justified doubts about the implementation of this specification. The supporters are particularly concerned about the young animals, who may be buried alive among the ruins. A tragic idea that is often ignored when the public buildings are demolished.
