Flocks of birds In Louisiana, plummet to their deaths, their insides liquefied

[Le Libérer]

Around 500 dead birds have fallen from the sky in Louisiana, found scattered along a quarter-mile portion of highway in Point Coupee Parish, the AP reports. The discovery is approximately 300 miles south of Beebe, Arkansas, where just days earlier thousands of the same species of birds also fell from the sky.

Initial tests conducted by biologists on the red-winged blackbirds and starlings found in Arkansas revealed that the birds suffered internal injuries that formed deadly blood clots. Countless explanations have been speculated, from intense high-altitude weather like lightning or hail to disturbance from fireworks. Disease and poison were determined to be far less likely causes, though full test results won't rule them out until next week.

"There was probably some physical reason, but I doubt anyone will ever know what it was," Thurman Booth, Arkansas' wildlife services director, told CBS.

The latest occurrence of more dead birds turning up in Louisiana only compounds local residents' worries, as in the week prior to the Arkansas blackbird mystery, 83,000 dead drum fish washed up along a river about 100 miles west of Beebe. Wildlife officials claim the incidents are not related.

A Kentucky woman also reported finding dead birds in her yard Monday, though numbering far less in the dozens.

What do you think caused the birds to fall out of the sky?

Pictorial here. (http://www.time.com/time/photogallery/0,29307,2007859,00.html)

And they are telling us we have nothing to worry about. Just like with the BP spill and Katrina.

Climate change? These deaths are happening so abruptly and towards a specific specie. Usually the environment doesn't go based on specifics. Though, a specific animal has specific conditions towards the environment and its climate. So whenever a drastic change occurs, this effects the very condition of that specific animal.

I heard about this from my roommate. He said lightning I said chemical buildup from a leak collecting at a certain altitude. The chemicals also could have leaked into the lake some how.

I see that they were physical injuries. Perhaps they hit a cloaked spaceship that then crashed into the lake killing the fish?

The injuries the birds suffered were physical. The article doesn't mention the nature of the injuries to the fish.

I don't think it's down to climate change either, at least not in the case of the birds. This seems too sudden for that.

Is the US Air Force known or suspected to perform exercises in the local airspace?

^What would that have anything to do with both the fish's and bird's death?

[Ele'ill]

The fish and the bird's deaths could be unrelated. But 1500+ birds because of aircraft collision?

Always. Barksdale Air Force Base is just miles away in Bossier City La. Its the 5th largest air base in the US.

[Amphictyonis]

Air Borne virus? Any human illness in the region? I'd go with the oil spill run off upstream theory. Could oil run upstream?

[Le Libérer]

The weather guy showed the radar at the time the birds started falling out of the sky in Arkansas on new years eve. Between 11pm and midnight, the radar indicated the thunderstorms were clear of the area at this time, but it also showed the area where the birds died, a plume that would start small and grow huge in about a 1min or so, over and over in that hour when the birds died. The weather guy said he was positive the radar was showing the birds, all flying at once, suddenly, then re-perching, over and over. He thinks they flew into each other and buildings as well, but mostly each other because of fireworks. Birds cant see at night, that why they sleep at night.

But since I just heard about the birds in South La. after new years, is just strange. It could still be the same thing. I will be interested in seeing if the dead La birds clear the blood test for toxins. The Arkansas birds had no toxins, sickness, they were healthy except for the blunt force trama with internal bleading.

The birds that died, red wing black birds, common crackles, starlings, are nomatic. They stay in huge groups going to and eating up all and any food sources and move on when its gone.

The fish and the bird's deaths could be unrelated. But 1500+ birds because of aircraft collision?

It doesn't have to be collisions - if aircraft are regularly flying through large flocks of birds in a relatively limited area, we'd expect at least some aircraft to go down with them as their engines are mangled by vapourising avians.

They may however be flying just close enough to cause physical trauma. Considering how powerful modern combat aircraft are and how flimsy birds are relatively speaking (evolution not having the foresight necessary to give birds titanium skin and miniature rocket engines for quick getaways), and the seeming lack of any obvious chemical element to the picture, it strikes me that the probable cause might be aerial activity of some kind. A nearby airbase would be an obvious culprit.

If it's always been there then why would this only start to effect them now? How would this effect them all dieing at the same time?

I really think so. Our gulf shores are so poluted, and dead fish and birds were dying at the beginning of the spill.

But that doesnt explain Arkansas. They could totally unrelated but I doubt it. Louisiana is just beginning to drill for natural gas, the pollutant laws are very lax, and I think its very possible its becoming more of a shit hole than it ever was.

[ÑóẊîöʼn]

Could oil run upstream?

Unless it has previously unrecognised anti-gravitational properties, it seems unlikely, to say the least.

Except we have had tornados and near hurricanes since the BP spill. Had Hurricane Gustof became a full blown hurricane, they said the oil could have reached into Arkansas which is over 700 miles north of the gulf.

I accept that possibility, but that's hardly the same thing as fluids "run[ning] upstream" (lol).

Heres the latest (http://www.ktbs.com/news/26368410/detail.html)fabrication on what happened. I swear, do they really think we are going to fall for something so illogical?


NEW ORLEANS (AP) -- Louisiana's state wildlife veterinarian says at least some of an estimated 450 birds that died near Baton Rouge may have flown into a power line.
Jim LaCour said Tuesday the grackles, starlings, brown-headed cowbirds and red-winged blackbirds had broken beaks and backs. He says some live birds had broken wings but ran too fast to catch.
The bird deaths Monday came a few days after about 3,000 blackbirds fell from the sky in central Arkansas. Scientists there say celebratory fireworks on New Year's Eve likely sent the birds into such a tizzy that they crashed into homes, cars and each other before plummeting to their deaths. (CHeck the comments, they are priceless)

Around here, all that needs to happen to convince the masses is pay local preachers to say so, and it will become the word of god.

I was more so thinking about oceanic currents. Perhaps large rivers have the same where the bulk of the water is flowing out but surface water is acting in a different manner.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tidal_bore#United_States

^ It has actually happened in the Mississippi River.

A supersonic boom might do this i guess if i go by how much the windows shake even with the fighter jets at a high altitude.
So if a jet would fly over a flock of birds with minimal distance between them then i could see why they would at least be stunned enough to drop to the ground.

[Red Future]

Very much doubt its power lines in Baton Rouge , burn damage would be clearly visible

Isn't this sort of thing not that uncommon? I can remember something similar happening in Britain a few years back.

[Le Libérer]

And here we go! One of the comments from a local newspaper:

his is just another sign of The End Times...
None of this happened before we elected that Kenyan socialist/ Muslim/ anti Christ.

Mass bird deaths aren't uncommon. The U.S. Geological Service's website listed about 90 mass deaths of birds and other wildlife from June through Dec. 12. There were five deaths of at least 1,000 birds, with the largest near Houston, Minn., where parasite infestations killed about 4,000 water birds between Sept. 6 and Nov. 26.

But.... they have tested the birds from Arkansas. They had no diseases.

[Dimentio]

It's the Maya Calendar :cool:

[Manic Impressive]

I've heard that there are lots of these kind of deaths which remain unexplained. Many cases where there are no diseases or parasites found, that's what the news said so it must be true.

I thought I knew this forum but you guys continue to surprise me with this wild conjecture and spouting of "right wing" conspiracy theories.

(Why are all conspiracy theories called "right wing" by people on here?)

[hatzel]

They're all explained, though. Alien activity. People just don't want to admit it.

I heard that another mass death of fish happened in New Zealand or somewhere like that. As for this, it could just be a strange animal disease, or possibly something caused by climate change through long term exposure to something, and only now are the effects happening to those exposed the longest?

It sounds like most of the fish deaths are due to water temperature.

The dead fish thing is p. crazy, though. I figured it was just stuff in the water (drum fish are bottom feeders. Whatever goes in the lake, goes in them), but rising water temps. also sounds probable. Water in the States is so polluted that it could be anything, though.

Bird deaths are kind common, and yeah, even in the case of the Louisiana black birds, it could have been lightning. Cloud-To-Cloud lightning is known to go crazy far. I remember a golfer got killed by a lightning strike when the nearest storm was dozens and dozens of miles off.

Still, that's a lot of birds dying in mass numbers.

Looks like the great physicist Michio Kaku has come up with a theory of his own. One that I find to be pretty credible. Though, still a bit skeptical on how there could be loads of isolated incidents in a certain small time-span period.

The map at the 50 second mark in the video above shows this is pretty much happening in regions that support the US and mostly in the US. Should we put on my tin foil hats and say it's some sort of biological weapon?

No, at least the recent European one turned out to be massive alcohol poisoning. The birds raided the fermentated fruit at some brewery. :lol:

I meant in regards to him saying 'mass die offs occur all the time'. The reporter knew this as I'm sure it was talked about amongst the news people ('how are we going to confuse the public today') when the story first came up. It sort of shits in fox's oatmeal to have a guest call them out on it.

Well, how many of those mass deaths were the result of physical trauma, rather than disease or infection?

And as psgchisolm said.
