We celebrate the 4th of July every year, and this is the first time I hear birds die because of fireworks, do you really buy that?
It's not only happening in the US, but around the world like Brazil or Sweden.
What do you think?
...Bird Cult Mass Suicide?
Another Slew of Mysterious Bird Deaths Occur in Italy
Advert
On New Year’s Eve, blackbirds fell from the sky in Arkansas followed by thousands more found dead in Louisiana, Kentucky and Sweden. Now the Huffington Post reports that more dead birds have fallen from the sky in Italy.
Hundreds or possibly thousands of turtledoves were found in Faenza, Italy. Unlike the red winged blackbirds found in Arkansas and Louisiana, these birds seem to have died less mysteriously. They have a blue stain on their beaks, which the Italian GeaPress news agency suggests are a result of poisoning or hypoxia. The test results are expected back in a week.
The occurrence just adds to the growing list of strange animal deaths in the New Year. The Daily Beast adds that two million dead fish washed ashore in Brazil, New Zealand and Arkansas, along with 40,000 crabs in England.

Okay, I love NG but this article doesn't make sense to me on a logical level.
1) The deaths have happened in 13 global locations all happening within a concentrated time span. So, it's a little hard to accept that these birds just ran into power lines or got confused and started flying around in circles until they fell out of the sky.
2) We are forgetting that fish and crabs have also washed ashore dead. In New Zealand, many of the fish missing their eyes... Understandable since there are other bigger fish out there eating them.
I believe this is article is all theory since no one truly knows what exactly happened to these animals and therefore this article cannot be accepted in its entirety.
I believe that the tectonic plates are shifting, causing earthquakes and those quakes are causing the magnetic field to loose its feng shui for a fraction of a second. Birds and fish need the field in order to be properly orientated.
jericho, anyone?
My best theory would be magnetic fields being shifty.
But then again, we would have noticed it a lot earlier than animals.
