In addition to the death of over 1,000 bramblings (Fringilla montifringilla) on January 1, 2025 in Koprivshtitsa, there is also data about dead birds at other locations. This was announced by the Ministry of Environment and Water. They say that an investigation will be carried out into the incident with the dead birds near Koprivshtitsa.

Fireworks, light and noise pollution represent a very specific form of disturbance and cause of mortality, which can have significant consequences for the Bulgarian avifauna, the Ministry of Environment said.

They say that fireworks should not be used in ornithologically important places. After the information about the incident was spread, the mayor of Koprivshtitsa municipality, Maria Toromanova, told BTA that the death of the birds was not related to the New Year's fireworks.
