Arkansas bird deaths

profitius

Anybody see it on the news? Thousands of birds fell out of the sky after dieing instantly. Nobody knows why but fireworks have been blamed. The birds were examined and it showed that they died by having blood clots.

To me it sounds like some sort of energy beam struck them. Where it came from or what it was is anyones guess. Its no coincedence it happened in the USA.

This same week it was reported in the sunday times that in an arab country (I forget which one) they're using weather machines designed by a Swiss company to try to change the weather and they have succeeded. So thats another conspiracy theory proven to be fact.

not sure if this source is credible but it reports hundreds of blackbirds dead aswell in Louisiana:

I remember seeing a documentry about something similar that happened in Africa, resulting in animal and bird deaths and possibly a village, that they thought was from the release of swamp gas, can't really remember it properly, could be something similar

Source for either of these reports, especially the Swiss weather machine?

Also, what makes you think it's an energy beam and not dangerous chemicals or even chemtrails?

Slota also declined to speculate on a cause for the deaths, but he said a search of USGS records shows there have been 16 events in the past 30 years involving blackbirds where at least 1,000 of the birds have died seemingly all at once.

That's pretty interesting actually, did they blame those cases on "Underlying disease, starvation and cold fronts" too?

200 miles away (still Arkansas), hundreds of thousands of some breed of fish were found dead too. All other breeds of fish seem to be fine.

All seems a little weird. They are probably unrelated though. They reckon the birds got a fright after some sort of explosion.

The bird thing was all over the news and radio.

I'm sure during the last Olympics they used some technique to keep the sky clear? Weather machine of sorts...

Here's an article I found on USA Today:

USA today wrote:

A mysterious event that caused thousands of red-wing blackbirds to rain down from the sky New Year's Eve in the Arkansas town of Beebe may have occurred when loud noises or fireworks frightened a flock that roosts in a neighborhood, causing them to fly into buildings and other obstacles, a state ornithologist said.
But others still think weather could have played a role.

Preliminary necropsies on the dead birds by the state Livestock and Poultry Commission "showed trauma," said Karen Rowe, Arkansas Game and Fish Commission ornithologist. "The birds obviously hit something very hard and had hemorrhages." Beyond that, all the birds were healthy.


ON DEADLINE: Arkansas tests dead birds

The state is also performing chemical and disease testing, but the results will take a week.

Neighbors reported five to 12 booming noises in the eastern part of Beebe, a community of 5,000 northeast of Little Rock. "They reported it sounding like a cannon or transformer exploding," but officials are still investigating to find out what the noises were, Rowe said.

The flock then rose from its roost and tried to fly away, but possibly because of fireworks in the sky "they naturally wouldn't want to go up high," she said. "They were below the roof line, so they were hitting houses, mail boxes, chimneys and walls."

Blackbirds have very poor night vision.

The first calls about the incident came in at about 11 p.m. on New Year's Eve, according to Keith Stephens, with the Game and Fish Commission.

"They told us there were birds falling out of the sky. After we verified that this wasn't some kind of prank, one of our wildlife officers went over there and sure enough, there were birds falling," he said.

The Department of Emergency Management tested the air and found nothing amiss, so the state isn't putting out any health warnings, he said.

Many theories being floated about causes of the die off can be discounted, said Dan Cristol, a professor of biology at the Institute for Integrative Bird Behavior Studies at the College of William & Mary in Virginia. The birds couldn't have eaten a fast-acting pesticide because they would have eaten it during the day and died long before they began to roost at night, he said. A slower-acting pesticide wouldn't have affected them all at the same time. A hail storm is unlikely because they would have had to be flying for that to happen, and at that hour red-wing blackbirds are asleep.

Rough weather had hit the state earlier Friday, but the worst of it was well east of Beebe by the time the birds started falling, said Chris Buonanno, a forecaster with the National Weather Service in North Little Rock.

But one expert said he can't discount weather as a cause.

"Thousands of birds encountered something, whether it was a lighting strike or hail or something, and that caused the trauma and death," said Robert Meese, an avian ecologist at the University of California-Davis. "I don't see any way that they could have flown into obstructions, because then the birds should have been at the base of the objects. ... This was a scattering."

The number of dead blackbirds is more than 3,000, Rowe said. "Environmental Services says they picked up approximately 2,000 birds." There were others they couldn't reach, she said, and "scavengers probably carried off quite a bit — if you're a cat, it's Christmas dinner."

Red-wing blackbirds are native to North America and gather in large flocks in the winter, generally settling near food sources for weeks at a time, said Mike Parr of the American Bird Conservancy in Washington, D.C.

The number of birds that died Friday is high, he noted, but "to put the number in perspective, windows, communication towers, power lines and wind turbines kill tens of millions of birds each year, probably hundreds of millions."

In an unrelated event, a major fish kill was reported on the Arkansas River last week, Stephens said. Approximately 80,000 to 100,000 dead freshwater drum were found along a 17-mile stretch of the river, about 100 miles from Beebe, between the Ozark Lock and Dam and a point due south of Hartman.

State officials believe the fish kill was disease related. Specimens have been sent to state labs for testing.

The incidents — coming during a traditionally slow news period — made for a wild weekend for state Game and Fish staffers.

"It's the craziest thing I've ever experienced and I've been doing this for 25 years," Stephens said. "I'll bet you I've had 100 calls today, I've done 25 interviews. I did Al-Jazeera live last night."

Ah I see it now, I assume it's this? Outside of the companies claims has there been any independent testing of the device done? This could be pretty fantastic for countries whose climate limits the development of farming actually.

That's mad

The birds were probably roosting for the night, fireworks go off scattering a huge flock and they crashed into each other, into trees and into houses in the dark killing each other and leaving dead birds all over the place.

Alex Jones and somebody else on Coast to coast am talking about the birds and fish. Jones also made the connection with the weather machine in Saudi Arabia and talks about HAARP etc.


Skip forward on the video to 5 min until they start talking about it.

Mahatma coat

Lads, I think we might be onto something here, What is it tho?

I heard about the Birds in America, and then I heard about the Fish in NZ and I thought they might be connected, but thats a Massive list there, if they've all happened recently then Something VERY Fúckin weird is happening


any chance you could edit that list to put in Working links to the articles you found? I'm curious to establish a timeline for this, is this Sudden and new? have birds been fallin out of the Sky in smaller numbers previously? are there any historic incidents recorded of this sort of thing?

The latest report is from Sweden

These stories remind me of the signs and portents you see recorded in the old Irish annals:

917 A.D.

Snow and extreme cold and unnatural ice this year, so that the chief lakes and rivers of Ireland were passable, and causing death to cattle, birds and salmon. Horrible portents also: the heavens seemed to glow with comets; and a mass of fire appeared with thunder in the west beyond Ireland, and it went eastwards over the sea.

1054 A.D

A steeple of fire was seen in the air over Ros-Deala, on the Sunday of the festival of George, for the space of five hours; innumerable black birds passing into and out of it, and one large bird in the middle of them; and the little birds went under his wings, when they went into the steeple. They came out, and raised up a greyhound, that was in the middle of the town, aloft in the air, and let it drop down again, so that it died immediately; and they took up three cloaks and two shirts, and let them drop down in the same manner. The wood on which these birds perched fell under them; and the oak tree upon which they perched shook with its roots in the earth.

with such a sporadic spread over the globe and accross a period of time.. is it not more plausible to be some unknown natural phonemon???

Saruman

In CT spirit, I blame it on a successful Alien test attack.
Phase 1 is complete so we are phase 2 I guess....

SEANoftheDEAD

Yo, new to the forum here but delighted to find a CT based section.

Interesting reading all across the global news. All we need now is one of these events to happen in Ireland and we're laughing.

Alien test someone said? wouldnt rule it out

Birds can 'see' the Earth's magnetic field so maybe the earth's magnetic filed is going haywire?

Anything is possible,but we should try deal in facts and one of them is that the birds do see this field.

I kinda thought that after posting,i was just surprised with the very low number of posters on this subject.None of my friends i talked to today knew this was happening.
