Dead Birds Found In Sweden

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.

Ter Horst says cold weather, difficulties finding food and possible shock from the fireworks could be responsible, leading to the stressed birds either dying from the stress or being run over by vehicles.

Five of the dead jackdaws found in the city of Falkoping were being tested.

Mass bird deaths aren't uncommon.

In the U.S., New Year's Eve fireworks were blamed in Arkansas for killing thousands of blackbirds, and a few days later power lines likely killed about 450 birds in Louisiana.

Looked at maps out of curiosity - Little Rock AFB is 30 mi from "bird crash" in ARK. In Italy, the U.S. has an AFB about 150 mi NE of the Italian "bird crash". In Sweden, the "bird crash" is smack dab between Sweden's two AFB's. Just sayin'. Scramjet testing or something?

You'd think if it had been due to the fireworks we'd see this every July 4.
Time to go back to the drawing board on this one, boys.

Fire works did not kill the crabs and fish.

If it was 5,000 or even 500, then let's make it newsworthy. 50 dead birds? Could have been a couple cats going on a rampage!

If it's lightning and fireworks, like they say, this would happen all the time, everywhere. But it doesn't and it hasn't. Something stinks here! They tried to tell us the Gulf oil spill was tiny before The Truth got let out of the bag, too. If they can cover THAT up and make us collectively forget about it then there's nothing stopping them from doing the same thing here or anything else they don't want us to know The Truth about.

Oh puh-LEASE! How stupid do they think we are? The mass bird deaths in Arkansas and Louisiana both happened on the same meridian. If it's not HAARP it's something else. But fireworks and power lines? Give me a freaking break!

I want a tinfoil roof. Forget the hat.

Are satellite transmissions causing internal injuries to these flocks of birds?
We have birds falling out of the sky in Arkansas, Louisiana and now in Sweden. Those in this country say there is internal bleeding.
The absolutely ignorant causes that have been given as possibilities were ....they committed mass suicide (LMAO), lightning and fireworks. Thet really don't give us much credit.
Even birds that ingest toxins and poisons do not fall in that close proximity.
"Lucy, I think you got some 'splaining" to do".

I worked in a building that specialized in sending and receiving satellite signals all over the globe. The "war" room was in the basement of a building that backed up to a railway. The data they recorded was sent in the form of tape by way of a European express service, stateside. There were many people that died prematurely in the building. Different forms of cancer and sitting primarily next to windows.
