Fireworks could have long lasting effects on birds

[Catherine]

We know that birds and other wildlife are affected by fireworks. Birds fly much more on a night when there are fireworks. That extra flying depletes them and could have a long-lasting negative effect.

This needs more study. Fireworks already are being banned for other reasons. If it can be shown that wildlife is seriously affected that would be one more arguement for banning them. At least they should be limited to professional displays. It is too dangerous to have private homes setting off fireworks all over.
Maybe we need to find a more environmentally friendly way to celebrate.
