Bloodstain Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 Thousands of birds flew into hail, the hail then fell into the river, melted, and drowned the fish. Mystery solved Fish don't drown.

KittyKat Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 I lived in Siberia at one point and remembered seeing lots of dead birds fall out of trees whenever winter set in early. Maybe the same thing happened here and they froze to death and suffered trauma upon hitting the ground? I will put my boots on. I will pass on down the corridor.

H2PM Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 Nah, there have been, and still, unseasonably warm temperatures in the areas for the past week.

Maybe the same thing happened here and they froze to death and suffered trauma upon hitting the ground? The trauma is probably what killed them, after they froze to death. Frozen tree branches are slippery, after all. SWAG Mayn U wanna be like me but U can't be me cuz U ain't got ma swagga on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arcantica Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 This is the kinda news I dread working with birds for a living. A few years ago we had to deal with one of the largest mass bird kills right here in my area. Ended up being parasites in the water. Hopefully it is just them being startled and not anything more serious. 2001-2006 the fourth and last legit 123 on classic123 classic/137 rs2 Native American Pride Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dupin Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 Saw a dead bird near my school today... :unsure:Stay indoors this weekend. What movie was it where they realized a zombie virus in animals would eventually mutate and jump to humans just because it would be impossible for it not to, given infinite time? Actually, never mind, the probably happens in tons of movies. But yeah, start building your Armageddon shelter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bloodstain Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 Scott Wright, the chief of disease investigations explains, that firecrackers would have set the birds out at night, flyinng blind. It's believed that the noise startled them-they are poor night fliers-and they were in close proximity to neighborhoods, and they flew into homes and cars. They died of impact force to their bodies. That's what the National Wildlife Health Center thinkshttp://io9.com/5727758/national-wildlife-health-center-determines-cause-of-blackbird-death Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There have also been mass bird deaths in Italy, as well as thousands of fish dying across the world in a similar fashion to that of the birds. I don't think it's a coincidence, and the firecracker hypothesis doesn't seem likely.

They're known as suicide birds, not because they die on purpose, but they are really stupid. And have horrible eyesight. They'll follow one bird (that has no clue where it is going) straight into the ground. Happens many times a year, all over the world. Interesting that it is starting to happen so much; I don't know of any recorded cases when this happens. Particularly since they aren't all blackbirds - there were doves, too. I wouldn't jump to any conclusions. Nobody knows what's going on, not the experts, not the interested or concerned citizens. So, we wait. catch it now so you can like it before it went so mainstream Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
