Australia is so hot right now that animals are dropping dead from the sky and are dying out due to heat exhaustion.

Temperatures across Australia are high right now, and animals, particularly birds, are having a hard time keeping up with the heat.

Images that were taken by residents show cockatoos lying on the ground.

The images were shared by a resident of Victoria along with a caption of: “The thermometer under the back veranda got to 48.9C today, not an official reading obviously, but it was enough to kill these sulphur-crested cockatoos.”

The thermometer under the back verandah got to 48.9C today, not an official reading obviously, but it was enough to kill these sulphur crested cockatoos. I would like to hang them around Morrison’s neck, as well as a few of his mates. How good is wildlife dying of heat stress? pic.twitter.com/mR9yzKUVe7

Last week, a heatwave struck Victoria and the temperatures were almost 48 degrees Celsius.

As a result of the heat, bushfires were raged.

According to the Jirrahlinga Koala and Wildlife Sanctuary, they received a number of calls for hurt animals within a couple of hours after the heatwave struck.

According to reports, birds were seen falling out of the sky due to the extreme heat.

Koalas, foxes, and possums were the animals that were mostly affected by the heatwave.

Possums, which are nocturnal, are going to a hard time in adapting the temperatures during the heatwave because they are going to roam around during the night times.

The Native Wildlife Rescue revealed that they rescued hundreds of flying foxes that had a hard time coping up with the heat.

The Native Wildlife Rescue shared the news on a post on Facebook, which said, “Flowing in from yesterday’s record heat and very limited food supply the Grey Headed Flying Foxes taking it extremely tough.”

The post added, “One of many colonies affected is the one in the Kangaroo Valley were in conjunction with other vaccinated members of the Shoalhaven Bat Clinic (also authorized through Wildlife Rescue South Coast Inc) we rescued approximately 100+ dependent babies today.”

The post continued, “This was followed by the 140+ rescues from the day before. Devastatingly, for many Flying Fox mothers and their babies help came too late.”

Animals in Australia are currently dying from extreme temperatures or being incinerated by massive bushfires.
