Thousands of invasive alien birds take over northern Italy

The sacred ibis, once revered in ancient Egypt, has spread its wings and spread across Europe from its native Africa. The alien bird has become particularly popular in northern Italy after escaping from captivity. Conservationists fear it will threaten native species. The long-legged bird is being compared to the well-known nutria - their stories are similar, as both species reproduce extremely quickly.
