Well, if, like me, you thought the freak occurrence in Arkansas on New Year’s Eve where over 3,000 birds fell from the sky was a one time thing, think again.
Hundreds of Dead Birds Found in Louisiana
Yesterday, approximately 500 birds were found along a quarter-mile stretch of Louisiana Highway 1 near Baton Rouge, Lousiana (in the town of Pointe Coupee Parish).
Again, the dead birds included a number of red-wing blackbirds, but starlings and grackles were found in this bunch as well.
This is about 300 miles south of Beebe, Arkansas, where over 3,000 birds fell from the sky. As in that case, experts in Louisiana are having a hard time identifying what exactly caused these birds to die. However, it seems most likely they ran into a power line. But, again, “why?” is the question.
This is not the first time so many birds have fallen from the sky in Louisiana. Apparently, approximately 3,000 birds died in Morehouse Parish in northern Louisiana in 1999. “Scientists at the U.S. Geological Service laboratory in Wisconsin diagnosed the cause as an E. coli infection of air sacs in their skulls,” the Associated Press (AP) reports.
Mass Bird Deaths Around the U.S.
Well, as I said above, apparently this is not too uncommon. The AP also reports the following:
The U.S. Geological Service’s website lists about 90 mass deaths of birds and other wildlife from June through Dec. 12. Five list deaths of at least 1,000 birds and another 12 show at least 500 dead birds.
The largest was near Houston, Minn., where about 4,000 water birds died between Sept. 6 and Nov. 26 from infestations of various parasites.
Still, how many of those happened all at one time (like in Arkansas)?

These reasons don’t make any sense! Crashing to the ground or objects? Why?!?! Birds are dumb but not that dumb! I seriously doubt it’s the end of the world or aliens! If it was I’d try highjack a space ship! Lol just joking! I think it’s something humans are doing… It could be polution, or some new freak predator! But it’s definetly one freaky subject! I’m gonna try clear it out of my head and forget about it! It freaks me out!!!
my best guess at this point is it’s related to hydraulic fracking: http://planetsave.com/2011/01/07/mass-bird-deaths-fish-deaths-caused-hydraulic-fracking-earthquakes/

Well if you remember in the movie Signs, the same thing was happening with the birds… the birds in the movie also suffered severe blunt force trauma, but they were injured BEFORE they hit the ground…. maybe some aliens parked their ship above beebe that evening and put it on cloak mode, (they were there for the fireworks of course…) then the fireworks did scare the birds out of their nests, but instead of flying directly into the ground, the flew into the side of the said invisible spaceship… if that didnt kill them then the fall back down to Earth did! there problem solved.
This would also explain the reason they all heard an “explosion” cuz the ship said “Holly crap, WE ARE UNDER ATTACK!” and all the ships (needs to be around 4 cuz they heard 4 booms*sonic booms*) blasted away from the area, crashing. Then they stopped over Louisiana and cleaned all the carcases off their ships. leaving them to fall from the sky.

Don’t know if that is a connection, but something to consider.
I believe more facts will reveal in due time. Could be due to natural environment or alteration of enviornment by us humans.
The sky is falling!!! Kaos is rising. The end of the world is here. Repent your sins AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHAHHHHHHHHHHHHAHHHHHHH
so if the birds in beebe had suffered from blunt trauma, and many people think that it is from the impact of the birds hitting the ground, did all the birds found dead all suffer from blunt trauma or just the ones in beebe?
Sarah Palin shot them!
HAARP
this is by far the craziest thing i have ever heard it really scares me is the world coming to a end or what
fear not, the world has not ended yet, and it has survived other mass extinctions, &cetera. However, change is upon us, and few have the wit or will to adapt. Learn Primnal Skills, you may never need them, but, with them, you know that you can fend for yourself and others.
sadly red move too the redwood forst u be safe there
