Terrible noise on new year

I live on a smallholding for the past 15 years and last night was the first time I heard such loud fireworks noises. I can't believe people can be so insensitive to animals, scare them in that manner with fireworks. Usually its quiet in our area. I wonder how all the animals must have been feeling with those blasting noises that went on for about an hour! I went in to sleep with my 6 year old as it woke him up as well. I feel everyone should be more thoughtful of the poor animals and abstain from such unneccessary loud burstings.

We saw hundreds of rainbow lorikeets flying into the dark in a panic when the public fireworks display started near their roosting tree last night.

My boyfriend and I were wondering if that would be the case

They're really strict on fireworks here. You need a permit for firecrackers and sparklers. The big show is done over the water. I know there isn't water everywhere they have a display, but I agree that wildlife needs to be taken into consideration. That's so sad about the lori's

We have laws realting to fire works after 10 pm but the trouble is enforcing them , once people know they can get away with it they will!
After l got back from playing the new year in at our church last night l called into reasure Billie, she did reply but this morning l discovered she had laid an egg, it had a broken shell so l wonder did the fireworks unsettle her.
Some one nearby is letting off fireworks at 9.15 pm and so l have just been into check on Billie she was not very happy but l feel my reassurance went down well.
