The surviving birds of Monte Urpinu will not be killed. This was announced in the city council by the mayor of Cagliari Paolo Truzzu, who also made a public revelation: "When everyone thought I had Covid, in 2020, I had bird flu".

Ten days later, Massa was able to ask «what will be the fate of the sixty remaining birds. I want to hope, since so much time has passed and they are alive, without entering the competence of others, that they can be saved," he said.

And Truzzu is a direct witness: «For a time it was thought I had Covid», he revealed, «instead in 2020 I was infected with avian flu, H1n1. I know what it means. Therefore, contagion with the human being is possible ».

For the mayor it was also an opportunity to shed further clarity, "because . He retraced the stages that led to the killing of numerous specimens «which was, it should be reiterated, And among these there could also have been flamingos.
