Birds have no face-masks

An Indian Myna Bird is seen perched above an overpass, engulfed in smog, in New Delhi, one of the most polluted cities in the world.   A 2013 study of non-smokers found that Indians have 30% lower lung function compared to Europeans.   Delhi has now passed a law banning the sale of fireworks to combat air pollution.   Even Myna Birds must be left speechless to hear of such a measure which seems so little so late.   Surely there are greater expectations than this to mitigate the breathing crisis for Delhi's millions of living creatures; human and otherwise.
