750 African Grey parrots perished on a 1Time airlines flight from Johannesburg’s OR Tambo airport to Durban’s King Shaka Airport on Christmas Eve. The parrots had been captured in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and were transported to South Africa for resale as pets in the second stage of a three-part transaction of a larger group of parrots.
The End Of The Line is this year’s most vaunted environmental documentary.

Details after the jump.
