Dead Birds Fall From Sky AGAIN In Louisiana, 300 Miles From Arkansas Incident Days Earlier

Around 500 dead birds have fallen from the sky in Louisiana, found scattered along a quarter-mile portion of highway in Point Coupee Parish, the AP reports. The discovery is approximately 300 miles south of Beebe, Arkansas, where just days earlier thousands of the same species of birds also fell from the sky.

Initial tests conducted by biologists on the red-winged blackbirds and starlings found in Arkansas revealed that the birds suffered internal injuries that formed deadly blood clots. Countless explanations have been speculated, from intense high-altitude weather like lightning or hail to disturbance from fireworks. Disease and poison were determined to be far less likely causes, though full test results won't rule them out until next week.

"There was probably some physical reason, but I doubt anyone will ever know what it was," Thurman Booth, Arkansas' wildlife services director, told CBS.

The latest occurrence of more dead birds turning up in Louisiana only compounds local residents' worries, as in the week prior to the Arkansas blackbird mystery, 83,000 dead drum fish washed up along a river about 100 miles west of Beebe. Wildlife officials claim the incidents are not related.

A Kentucky woman also reported finding dead birds in her yard Monday, though numbering far less in the dozens.

Good grief...

 

[Wylie Times]

Again?

Someone needs to put Dunham and Dr. Bishop on this case....

Hmm, I will need to recalibrate lenses from the lasers on my "death star". The energy output is far too little in relation to the energy consumption

 

[hopefuldreamer]

It's a sign of the apocalypse... THE END IS NEAR!!!!

I think the mystery is solved now. Had to do with fireworks, birds flying low and hitting objects and each other. Then apparently in Louisiana, something similar happenned:

I heard about this...they speculate they were zapped by something...

 

[Eggyman]

Where's the poster who spotted the UFO from?

Edit: Shemtov's quite vague. From the USA.

So, this doesn't happen every 4th of July? That fireworks excuse sounds like some made up bull ****!

 

[Bboy]

Freaky...

I never recall any mass deaths of birds when we have the 4th of July here

 

[The Squirrel]

It's a cover up! Maybe.

That's what I'm saying. Fireworks had nothing to do with this.

 

[Hotwire]

Voodoo, people. Voodoo.

500 less to poop on my car sounds good to me.

 

[Harls]

t: Haha, wow, nice.

 

[Warhammer]

There's definitely a conspiracy going on. I'm not even kidding when I say that either. The government is doing something.

 

[Immortalfire]

The earth's core has stopped spinning. Obviously.

Eeeeexcellent. All is going according to plan. Next to fall shall be... the chipmunks.

 

[Angel_Faerie]

That is actually pretty scary.

 

[Wolfwood]

Interesting that they were the same species, I wonder if it's a disease that's only attacking their kind.

 

[Scourge2099]

Bees are mysteriously dying off and now hundreds of birds have dropped dead. Something ain't right.

 

[zanos]

Did the fireworks kill 83,000 fish too? There's something really not right going on.

 

[SuperFerret]

Coincidence.

That's not to say that this isn't something worth investigating, same with the bees, but there's likely no connection between the two.
