    I was actually watching a programme about Alexander the great over Christmas and birds fell from the sky in front of him and it was seen as a bad omen.. They gave a scientific explanation for it happening but the scientific explanation actually seemed a bit farfetched tbh

    Dont, the authourities have it all under control. Mustnt worry :) There is a rumour that Arkansas is sitting on a Super Cauldera, thus emitting gases that are killing the wildlife.

    A good general explanation, I don't know about the geology of the area, but bird and fish kills are associated with imminent activity.

    One spoiler for that is the species of bird effected, it should effect all.

    I think this is a too loose explanation. Fireworks are regular features at regular times throughout the world. So I'd expect trillions of dead birds and to have had trillions of dead birds for 20s of years already.

    Birds dying enmass is not unheard of, we had an incident in Cork when I was a boy [and I'm not talking about the pest Pigeon exterminations].

    A worrying factor here is the dead fish. A connection between may be a clue. The birds in would not have eaten the fish either, but I'd have to research that, that species don't fish [off hand].

    Yeah was just thinking that myself gbee, I've never heard of crows or jackdaws finishing. I'm gonna hazard a guess here and say thats probably because they'd be attcked by seagulls and the likes?! Those seagulls are vicious when foods about. I had one actually land and flap its wings at me at a bus stop on Dame street a while back. All because I was standing beside a sandwich someone threw away.

    there was a sci-fi series on TV (unfortunately the name escapes me at the moment)

    but I watched the first episode or two .. and remember there was a similar pattern of batches of dead birds found,

    in the TV series people were suffering blackouts and they discovered the batches of dead birds had a pattern and I think linked it to some science experiment.

    EDIT: Found the name of the show "Flashforward"

    I did a quick google for this term "dead birds tv show people suffer blackouts" and it brings up an interesting debate as to if the show has any base - given current findings.

    I think the real reason was cos they never bothered to go any further with it . .if it does turn out to be true, i'll make a full apology although we'll all be dead so it wont matter anyway . .:P

    I'll take any apology in advance so then.

    Keeping in mind we are overdue:

    Yellow Stone super volcano eruption.
    Polar Shift.
    Massive CME impact.
    Release of trapped CO2 from the seabed.

    And always the possibility of another meteor impact.

    Anymore?

    Maybe we should start a book. :)

    2 million dead fish in Chesapeake Bay. They died from the cold...??

    also heres an article from 2009 , regarding west nile virus

    It says dead birds act as a warning for West Nile Virus.

    But the end of the world is always due, if someone hadn't made a film about the whole 2012 thing ( and it was an unbelievably sh!t film - dragged out for about 2 hours longer than it needed to) nobody would care about the mayan calender anymore than they care when a cult locks themselves in a cave and commits mass suicide.

    Meteor impact - there could be a meteor impact at any time, and theres sweet f.a. we can do about it - i think that the film Armaggedon wasn't 100% factually correct . .:P

    I don't see how the arkansas bird deaths could have been fireworks after seeing this video. It seems to be some kind of disease or poisoning as blackbirds in the area are still dying:

    Also the Louisiana bird deaths really looks like some kind of poisoning too. Perhaps they all drank from a nearby polluted pond?

    Monsanto have a facility in the area and I wouldn't put anything past that lot given their history:(

    Hers an updated list of Bird and fish deaths
    Honestly, I too thought this was a bit of skit at first, now Im not so sure. Its certainly something to keep eye on, if its to do with Cold Weather Systems , Large Hail(?) or something else

    The list is getting longer by the day it seems.
