Birds dropping dead from the skies and rivers flowing with tens of thousands of dead fish sounds like a cheesy Hollywood movie about the Apocalypse. Or the ravings of a Revelation-obsessed street preacher.
But residents of several US states are coping with the reality of mystery mass wildlife deaths, which have left officials scratching their heads and jumpy members of the public joking (nervously) about the end of the world.
Today it emerged that about 500 red-winged blackbirds and starlings had been found dead in Louisiana. Their tiny corpses littered a short stretch of highway near the city of Labarre after apparently falling dead from the sky.
That would be spooky enough. But the Louisiana bird die-off came just a few days after up to 5,000 blackbirds fell to earth in neighbouring Arkansas in the small town of Beebe. Residents there had reported stumbling upon the bodies littering the ground and even being hit by them as they fell. One woman said she was struck while walking a dog. Another avian corpse bounced off a police car.
In even more grim news, anglers and other members of the public reported that more than 80,000 drum fish had suddenly died in the state's Arkansas river, about 100 miles west of Beebe. The silvery bodies of the fish floated in the river and washed up on its sides having died at roughly the same time. In another incident, hundreds of miles away on the Maryland coast of Chesapeake Bay, tens of thousands of dead fish also washed up on the shore.

Growing Number of Dead Birds and Fish
At this time, there is growing concern that the numbers of dead birds and fish may point to environmental factors that may soon affect other species. Currently there are about 500 dead birds in Louisiana, 5,000 birds in Arkansas as well as reports of numerous dead birds in Kentucky.
Roughly 100,000 dead fish are littering the shores of the Arkansas River and the dying marine life in Chesapeake Bay is measured in the tens of thousands. While overly cold water and perhaps diseases are being blamed for the fish deaths, loud noises from fireworks are thought to be the culprits for the bird deaths.
Theories suggest that the birds got startled by the loud sounds, flew off their roosts in the dark, collided with objects and died from blunt force trauma.

Need some stuff designed or printed? I can help with that.
driving down the road
dead birds just falling out of the sky and peppering your car

Don't you know that people who didn't even know about Uranus or Neptune know more about evil death from space than us ignorant modern godless heathens?

Because I'd really like to have dibs on #pipe.
ARE YOU SERIOUS
Their bodies were facing towards the inside and both of them were looking at me. They just kept squawking away. I watched them for a few minutes.
I started to think that Odin was watching me, or that perhaps I was Odin.
Then I masturbated.
Uranus.
it isn't really.
it seems like a lot but it's not.
Hell there's spots out here where there'll be 500 birds in a single tree.
Need some stuff designed or printed? I can help with that.
hopefully those actually happen in 2012
something to look forward to that year
I'm talking about the Mayans. The guys who supposedly predicted death from space.
Neptune and Uranus are not observable with the naked eye so they didn't know about them.
Need some stuff designed or printed? I can help with that.
Probably freak weather fucking up the birds, no idea what the fuck the fish thing is about but we'll find out in a week or so maybe
I'm sure it beats masturbating with two Crows gawking at me.
macro you're a treasure
incidentally now i'm probably gonna get a noise complaint
and i'll start worrying about the end of days once the dead birds falling from the sky are replaced by live cows
Steam
Excellent. Now give me your eye.
could be a million things. A stretch of bad weather fucking up the food cycle, a natural gas bubble seeping out of the ground, some kind of pesticide/chemical accident
just plain old disease
unexplained does not equal unexplainable.

But then I had to leave so I just shrugged it off.
There was some hullabaloo at the end of 79.
My aunt and uncle met at a doomsday orgy.
My cousin was conceived that night.
The birds probably got spooked overnight by the storm (nearby lightning strike?), took off from where they were sleeping shocked and confused and flew themselves into the ground/trees/each other (this happens A LOT - and some trees hold thousands of birds at once)
they are both unrelated
done next
Uh-oh I accidentally deleted my signature. Uh-oh!!
i just noticed that searching on the forums has been disabled
it must be the end of days

Uh-oh I accidentally deleted my signature. Uh-oh!!
thank you
But I only have one left.
Would you take a testicle or kidney instead?
Although I guess knowledge comes at a price.

I don't think anyone on here is foolish enough to believe these events are supernatural in nature.
We just trying to have fun, son.
What? Fine. I'll take a testicle. After planting it in the soil of Asgard, a tree shall grow, and the fruit this tree shall bear, shall be your progeny, a new race of gods.
