Sudden Pet Bird Deaths In Lynnfield Spark Hazmat Investigation

LYNNFIELD, MA — The Massachusetts Hazardous Materials Emergency Response Division is investigating a situation that killed two pet birds Sunday.

The Lynnfield Fire Department received a call around 4 p.m. from 4 Joseph Lane about the sudden death of her two pet birds, Lynnfield Fire Chief Glenn Davis said.

Davis said the caller assumed the birds died from a sudden gas leak, but investigators say they checked for carbon monoxide leaks and other gases at the house but didn't find anything out of the ordinary.

"This was an isolated incident and there were no injuries or hospitalizations," said Davis.

The state's Hazmat team was notified and the investigation remains ongoing.

Patch has reached out to the Lynnfield Fire Department and state's hazmat team and will update when we receive more details on the incident.

No additional information was immediately available.
