Extinction Rebellion Cornwall are planning to overtake the banks in Falmouth this Saturday dressed as birds.

The Facebook page reads:

"Join the chorus to herald a New Dawn in banking. Where fossil fuels are a thing of the past...

"On Saturday 15th February let's fill the banks of Falmouth with flocks of birds to ask them to divest fossil fuels.

"Continued Investment of the public's money by banks in the fossil fuel industry is impacting air quality throughout the globe, and hastening our descent into climate catastrophe.

"Many native species of bird continue to be impacted by this devastation.

"Birds that were once common are now rare, some extinct. Their songs are lost forever.

"Dress in a bird costume, wear a mask and download your favourite bird song to play in the chorus.

"We will be holding mask making and block printing workshops before the action so people can join in the fun."

The Facebook event has 139 interested and is currently sitting at 39 attendants.

Extinction Rebellion Cornwall has been approached for a comment.
