Tin foil hats at the ready! Someone posted that link on another site, its far too conspiracy theory for me though!

Hm okay, not so panicked anymore considering there were 90 incidents of this happening between June and November, and it's not really that rare of an occurrance (according to the article).

Maybe this whole thing has to do with Climate Change, somehow... I mean, it does seem a bit warmer than usual here for this time of year.... I dunno, it's a mystery... "Exactly! Like, y'know, 'the tide is rising for this time of year'!" - 2D "Shut yer face, will you? Honestly..." - Murdoc birds survive in warmer climates than america just fine.

Well, it's about time, I sent the sleeper agent signal about two months ago.

Heheh, you can be lord of bacon, I claim lord of beer I'm all for that, dude. Where do I sign up? "LouCipherr - Lord of the Bacon" - that has a certain "ring" to it, doesn't it? P.S: Just to add more hysteria: The fishies are joining the birds in the WTF just happened story. *doubles up on his tinfoil hat*

Anyone else notice that they're shipping the birds to Atlanta for the CDC to check out? The CDC for fireworks or lightening bolts? I'm scared.

I was reading about such incidents in an old issue of Fortean Times - a magazine of bizarre and weird news that is usually quite open minded about such things, without being too irrational - and the explanation given by one scientist for these mass die-offs was actually quite a good one. Every seen birds fly in a huge flock like this?: Each bird follows its neighbour and they become like one massive organism. See how they swoop back and forth together at 40 mph? All it would take would be for one or two birds near the lead of the flock to fly into the ground in confusion or panic, and you'd have a mass kamikaze dive going on. It's also worth noting that the dead birds in the Arkansas case were all covered in wounds. They didn't just drop dead. They crashed into the ground, or each other, in panic.
