Distressing footage has shown several birds trapped in netting above a pub in Cardiff city centre. The footage, which shows the roof of the Glassworks pub in Wharton Street, was captured on Friday, July 29. At least four birds appear to be dead or seriously injured in the footage.
The pub is owned by the Greene King group which said the birds were freed as soon as the incident was brought to its attention. RSPB Cymru posted the footage on twitter, urging the pub to remove the netting, but Greene King said the netting was not owned by it.
A spokesperson for the pub said the netting enclosed a lightwell which was shared by a number of tenants and was in place to stop pigeons roosting and waste coming into contact with the kitchen. It said the netting had recently become damaged which caused the birds to be trapped.
