Mike Clifford Posted January 5, 2011 Report Posted January 5, 2011 The sky is falling! But why? In case you haven't heard, 2 million dead fish wash up in Chesapeake Bay alone, and hundreds of thousands more globally. Birds are dropping from the sky all over the world as well in recent days. The internet is buzzing over this...... http://news.google.c...+birds+and+fish Quote
Terry Dodge Posted January 5, 2011 Report Posted January 5, 2011 Could this be caused from the oil spill? Quote
Mike Clifford Posted January 5, 2011 Author Report Posted January 5, 2011 Not as the sudden deaths of thousands of birds are concerned. Then we have Brazil, Sweden...the list is getting longer. Quote
Jim Kast Posted January 5, 2011 Report Posted January 5, 2011 Well, it's either time to bend over and spread'em, or let the conspiracy theories start spreading. I'll get the ball rolling on the later! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High_Frequency_Active_Auroral_Research_Program Quote
Jim Kast Posted January 5, 2011 Report Posted January 5, 2011 Hot off the press! http://agfcnews.wordpress.com/2011/01/05/usgs-blackbird-tests-support-earlier-findings/ Quote
Mike Clifford Posted January 5, 2011 Author Report Posted January 5, 2011 I'm about sick of this economy and all the bad that comes with it anyway. I say bring it on!! How deep does a bomb shelter need to be, anyway? Quote
Mike Clifford Posted January 5, 2011 Author Report Posted January 5, 2011 Hot off the press! http://agfcnews.word...rlier-findings/ I can't help but wonder why we don't have millions of birds committing mass genocide on themselves every July 4th. One would think if that was the case, we'd have quite a mess on our hands every year! Hmmmm...... Quote

Scott Ferguson Posted January 6, 2011 Report Posted January 6, 2011 I wonder, if one of those July 4 fireworks, arial bombs, set off in the middle of a flock of birds would kill birds just with the concussion from the blast. You know those bombs that you feel in your chest when they go off. I know blackbirds don't fly at night, but if the flock were startled by the fireworks display, then flew into the area where a bomb went off, maybe the shock wave could do some damage. This sounds like something Myth Busters should investigate. Quote
jim bielecki Posted January 6, 2011 Report Posted January 6, 2011 There's no doubt that there was some kind of acute traumatic event that caused the kills. Any sickness, virus, or disease wouldn't trigger that many birds to die all at once. It's odd that it only effected a certain species and not others. Also, the numbers of birds are numerous and localized which gives the scientists some clues to go on. Another clue that they may consider is if the event occured before or during flight. The dispersal pattern of the dead should explain at least when the event occured. Fish are a bit different...the kills can be due to stress factors brought on by mother nature. But again it's a bit odd that it effected only one species. A quick acting virus could be a plausible explanation. It'll be interesting to find out. Quote

ronk Posted January 6, 2011 Report Posted January 6, 2011 If most of those birds were starlings & grackles I'd welcome a repeat performance of whatever killed 'em.Although they don't pose the same threat, as far as I'm concerned grackles are to the bird kingdom what asian carp are to the fish kingdom. I keep a bb gun handy thruout the summer when they invade my yard.The opossum that lives under the shed disposes of the carcasses for me. Quote
mlahart Posted January 8, 2011 Report Posted January 8, 2011 Hey, this is easy. It was Arkansas. Lots of stills in them there hills. And as we all know----"the birds that go by get so drunk they can't fly, on that good old mountain dew"! Quote
