Seems there is a lot of dead fish too over there?

Initially I was thinking of a leak of toxic gas into the atmosphere but perhaps early testing of a Martian death ray

Again several hundred birds fell dead from the sky, in Louisianna.

The first bird strike at new years eve was accompanied by a massive dying of fishes in a little river just 150 km away.

The new bird dying took place 600 km south of the first.

If there were volcanoes nearby, I would say volcanic activity and gas intoxication. But so... Anyway, the firwork thoery I do not buy. It would be happening more often, and one would expect the more events the more populated the area is. Which means in the vicinity of major cities birds should not stop falling down form the sky like raindrops there.

Military experiments? Environmental intoxication? Poison garbage? A moving toxic cloud that also is effective when mixing with water?

Events like these are very rare over land, say ornothologists, and another strange thing is why so many birds flocked together - while it is no wandering season.

Oh, that's right. 2012 is next year. Gotta get things moving if the world is going to end.

German media now report that in Falköping, a small town in Southern Sweden, also a mass dying of birds, which then fell from the sky, has taken place yesterday. Around 100 birds, (in German called "Dolen") were found.

If all these cases have the same causes, then a weather phenomenon is the most likely explanation, even mores ionce it was said that the birds already were hurt when falling down.

But it still is unanswered why outside any season for mass migration of birds, so many birds flocked together in the incidents in the US.

This is Ming playing with the Earth, I can immagine hearing his diabolical laughter in the background.

Well obviously, they fell to the ground didn't they?

I thought of that too but the reports i've heard is that the trauma was sustained before they died and they were dead before they hit the ground.

I don't buy the fireworks theory. Especially now that it's happened again.

Finnish news say that a truck driver has reported in and said he had driven over the birds in Sweden.

At least we're going to witness it. I mean the world is not going to end without some big **** happening wouldn't it?

Take that with a grain of salt. They're still guessing about what happened so I'm not putting too much stock in the accuracy of these early reports.
