Only 30 survived the plant... More of them have probably died by now... That's really bad.

I can imagine it would have been frightening for the workers too. Could you imagine trying to pull scared eagles with huge talons and beaks out of that muck? The birds would have been trying to bite anything that came near them.
There is a phenomenon in the Australian outback when it gets really dry, all these bush budgies go for the water and being budgies they won't wait there turn. Farmers have reported having to dig out up to 3 tonnes of bush budgies that have drowned and clogged up the water holes.
