35 bullet casings
A baseball cap
Empty beer cans

And a little white bird in a cage.

Those attending the funeral had all disappeared though.

I agree newone, it was lazy reporting to not at least tell us what type of bird it was. I feel sorry for birds in cages, they don't have enough space to move around. Large aviaries are alright, they give birds enough room to fly around. I hope the shelter the bird was taken to had a large aviary.

To people who have macaws, an African Grey would be small! ...... Zebra Finch now that would be small -- silly reporter.
