Death of 41 ducks and geese in Porto city park remains unexplained after 1 month

Now14 September 2026 at 19:17

A total of 41 ducks and geese were found dead in a park in the city of Porto about a month ago, with no cause of death determined so far.

The examinations performed on the birds' bodies and on the water from the park's lakes showed no conclusive results, leaving authorities without an explanation for the incident.

The case continues to raise concern, as the origin of the animals' deaths remains unclear, several weeks after the bodies were discovered.

Why this matters

Readers in Porto who frequent this park are left without knowing if there is any risk to public health or to other animals, since authorities have failed to identify the cause of the mass death of birds after a month of investigations. This situation may affect visitors' confidence in the green space and raises questions about the water quality of the Park's Lakes.
