Cases of bird death in Azerbaijan considerably dropped, Huseyn Baghirov, the Azerbaijani Ecology and Natural Resources Minister, stated.

As Trend reports, at present 3 or 5 birds die a day. Dead birds have been revealed on Absheron Peninsula and Gilazi recently.

According to Baghirov, the number of dead birds reached over 15,000, but the figure may be inexact. Several organizations are simultaneously involved in the issue and the population kills birds in some regions without permission.

Taking into consideration bird migration in April, the Ministry works on collection of information of the countries, where birds fly from.
