A strange and alarming moment was filmed by one of the residents of the city of Philadelphia in the USA. The video, published in Instagram on Wednesday, shows how a woman deftly grabs the sparrows with her hands. She and an elderly man are sitting on a park bench in the historic square near the Independence Hall in Philadelphia.
Catching the bird, the girl folds the sparrows in plastic bags, and it is clear that their wings are still feverishly clapping.
It is clear that this strange couple specially feeds sparrows.
According to the Daily Mail, US Park Service spokeswoman Gina Gilliam said that the seizure and harassment of wildlife in the park is contrary to federal laws and regulations.
Couple with the video has not yet been identified.
In some Asian countries, the use of sparrows as food is normal. For example, in traditional Japanese cuisine there is a dish - "Fushimi-Inari Suzume-no Yakitori", and it's just a barbecue of sparrows.
In addition, sparrows are used in non-traditional Asian medicine. For example, in Vietnam they are treated with all kinds of logopedic problems in children.
