We’re back in Cyprus to investigate how bird crime has changed since we last visited 7 years ago. Over half a million birds are illegally killed each year– with much of it happening on British sovereign land. Tune in live on X for our first broadcast at 8am. #OperationDeadAir

This morning one of our cars was nearly rammed off the road by a man belonging to a gang of Europes most awful songbird killers. They were illegally trapping again and chased us away… the local police did nothing. #OperationDeadAir Committee Against Bird Slaughter (CABS)

The birds don't stand a chance. Sticks are coated in a glue-like substance, forming a deadly trap. Known as 'lime sticks', birds land on them, struggle and either die or are killed later by trappers. 60 different species have been trapped this way. #OperationDeadAir

There was a time, when people across Europe supplemented their diets with wild birds through the winter months. But today, in 2025? They're being shot for money, so some individuals can 'show off' in a restaurant. #OperationDeadAir #wildlifecrime Please donate to Committee Against Bird Slaughter (CABS)

The excellent team at Committee Against Bird Slaughter (CABS) have been out again and seen Akas trapping– with Police nowhere to be seen. 9 nets in total were active with hundreds of song birds seen flying around in the area. We must stop this slaughter. #OperationDeadAir |
