Bird Government Testing, Lightning Or Poison? What Caused Birds To Fall Dead In Arkansas?

People are baffled with the news of thousands of birds that fell dead from the sky in Arkansas this past weekend. The AP reports that a freak weather event like lightning or hail could be responsible for killing the countless blackbirds, or that New Year's fireworks may have startled the birds, notorious for their poor eyesight, and led them into the ground. Disease or poison were also suggested as possibilities, though evidence suggests they are less likely.

Given another strange incident of thousands of fish recently dying in Arkansas, Paul Watson and Alex Jones suggest secret government weapons testing may be responsible for the birds' deaths. If that's the case, maybe it could even be aliens that are accountable!

Let us know what you think is to blame for this odd occurrence.

Based on what we, as the public do know: Influenza virus begins exclusively in birds. Birds act as the host until it can mutate and transfer itself (the virus) to mammals. Apparently, the virus strain is failing as the "host" is dying which indicates that the virus will also die. I certainly do hope that this strain does not figure itself out and make corrections. You can read all about Influenza virus causing bird die offs or the life cycle on the CDC web site. Or, from your library on the PBS video regarding the flu epidemic during WWI. It offers an excellent virology lesson.
As for the fish and cows etc...that does complicate things but I do suspect virus or bacteria. They can be completely unrelated.
To the Arkansas Vet - the public is not that stupid. A bird falls from the sky, hits the ground, it will appear to have trauma. The blood coming from the nose, mouth, eyes - that sounds viral. Someone check that dude's credentials.

Gravity!
and no doubt something we did to causeit.

Request for an additional option in the poll: "Sudden surge in the front-page reporting of animal deaths."

Like it or not it's the beginning of the end for mankind. Apocalypse Now! First the fish and the fowl and then man and his beasts! I giveth, now I taketh away.

this is caused by the earths magnetic poles suddenly shifting
wildlife especualy migratory wildlife have built in receptors in their brains that detect the magnetic field.what the magnetic field shifts to the extreem as it has this caused the wildlife receptors to basicly short cercut,killing them.
the gov is issuing a statment about controled poisoning to devert the prople away from the real facts.

It sounds somwhat believable, but your spelling ruins all credibility my friend.

Now we got another nut blaming BP, its obvious that the birds fell out of the sky all at once, if they were sick they would have fallen at different rates and over days not minutes!

What do you think, the birds are only going to be affected in Ark and LA? They are falling everywhere and not on the same day.

I think BP is behind it. Mayb e the birds ate fish that came from the gulf and the fish were laden with Corexit. Possibly the birds and dead fish ate fauna that had corexit or crude oil on it. Either way, the Gulf of Mexico is tainted thanks to BP and now we are beginning to see the results.

You and the idea of the towers are nutty as well, you don't know what you are talking about

[brendalis1977]

Those big towers you see at every corner supporting cellular communication, produce high intensity frecuencies between each one of them. These high intensity frecuencies, when a lot of birds pass thru them high in the air causes these birds to get shocked and sometimes killed instantly at the same time, after that the birds just start falling into the ground, Check if in these areas where birds fall, exist all these number of towers, these surely could be the reason, also notice that these incidents are always in an especific area, check these communicatios towers, they are the reason of what is happening.

you folks are nuts thinking this is from natural gas release or oil spills, Too coincidental and time between events makes these scenarios quite improbably! please stop wrinting nutty assertions about what could be a very serious global event

Also, if it is from a Satellite weapon then this could supported by doing orbital simulations to determine if there is an orbit that would put the satellite overhead of the various locations at the specific times.

Hmmm hydraulic fracking is occuring right now in the same regions of Arkansas where birds and fish are dying... AND Shell has completed drilling Sweden’s first shale gas exploration well!! Let's put 2+2 together folks!!

Research the amount of earthquakes that have been occuring lately in Arkansas near the drilling sites. This shouldn't be a surprise to ANYONE, especially so-called scientists and experts.

Natural gas companies are messing with the tectonic plates and exposing magnetic fields, which birds rely on to migrate. They are drilling for natural gas ALL OVER THE PLACE now, including offshore Brazil.

TAKE ACTION AGAINST FRACKING!! Tell your local representative to support the Frac Act. Find out how you can make a difference here: www.gaslandthemovie.com

Earthquakes? In Arkansas? I've heard - and felt - of no such thing.

If these worldwide incidents are related, it sounds like a global phenomena is responsible. Could be government weapons research but if so it would be from satellite. Could be the shift in the magnetic north pole, as I learned this week it had moved 40 miles recently but not sure in what time frame it moved. If they are related and none of my hypothesis are correct then I would look up for an answer, maybe there is something to the 2012 galactic alignment. I try to be scientific and don’t like to hypothesize but this is very strange and disturbing! Start looking up!
