Birds Birds Everywhere!

So I posted this blog entry a little while back. Not even a week ago. As if that weren't a freaky enough thing to be blogging about, I get to add on!

"NEW ORLEANS — It isn't easy being a blackbird in the South.

First, New Year's Eve fireworks were blamed in central Arkansas for making thousands of blackbirds confused, crashing into homes, cars and each other. Then 300 miles to the south in Louisiana, power lines likely killed about 450 birds, littering a highway near Baton Rouge."

Article 2: Source

"STOCKHOLM — Officials say about 50 birds have been found dead on a street in Sweden.

Veterinarian Robert ter Horst says the cause of jackdaws' deaths was unclear but that fireworks were set off near the scene Tuesday night.

The birds were found dead on Wednesday."



Right, so now we've got more dead in Louisiana, and it's spreading to Sweden! This is just plain creepy.

And I'm sorry, but I don't believe for a minute that tons of fire works are responsible for both mass deaths. It just seems too unlikely that such a thing would happen twice for the same reason. And I don't believe that so many birds would fly into a power line and die. Especially since at least the ones in the states were all the same kind of bird.

This is freaky. I don't have an explanation for it, but I doubt what the experts are saying.
