A dead baby bird had ingested 778 pieces of plastic on its first day of fieldwork on Australia 's Lord Howe Island .

Scientists from the Adrift Lab ocean research group were horrified to discover “crunchy birds” on the island.

A total of 778 plastic pieces in the bird, which died when it was between 80 and 90 days old , suggests its parents fed it about 10 pieces per day.
