Over 100 parrots found dead after violent storm in Jhansi village; video sparks outcry

But while the human tragedy is front and center, another heartbreak unfolded, and was largely overlooked. In Singar village near Jhansi, over 100 parrots were found dead after the storm passed. The villagers woke to a surreal and gut-wrenching sight: bright green feathers scattered across the fields, the silence only adding to the shock. More than 50 other birds were badly hurt, some barely hanging on.

A video capturing the aftermath – dozens of parrots lying lifeless – spread quickly on social media. Locals, stunned by the scene, contacted the forest department. Officials arrived at the location, burying the dead in a large pit and rushing the injured to receive medical care. Many were in critical condition.

“It’s not just about one storm,” said a local environmentalist shaken by the events. The deeper concern, he explained, lies in how frequently such incidents are starting to happen.

Online, the video triggered a wave of disbelief and sorrow. “Shocking, isn’t it? Because they know how to survive nature – I mean, they’re built for it, right? And only parrots died?” one user commented. Another said, “What? There has to be more to the story. A storm can’t kill so many of them.” Someone else wrote, “Most likely hypothermia causes death of birds during storms.”
