I heard some people think is was the fireworks on new year that cause the bird stress. I can't help but think is was some poisonous gas in the air as there where so many dead birds. I find it very disturbing and sad that we're losing so many birds , bats and honey bees . I hope someone will come with an answer to what is going on fast! The birds looked like redwing black birds
and I really love those birds . We do not have a lot around as the wet land being wiped out! This story is really sad!
if there was a poisonous gas, there would be human causality. The Air Quality agency reported no strange odor.
and no we're not losing so many birds, bats, etc. There are literally hundreds of thousands of them, if not millions.
Natural gas has no odor at all.
I meant poisonous gas or anything unusual in air.
Natural gas has no odor at all.
I wouldnt be surprised if the earthquakes busted a line for the natural gas to emit into the air... Then the natural gas gets trapped into a pocket of air... Then birds fly into it.. instadeath since birds are small.

The bats in my state are dying from some unknown causes. We use to have a lot of barn swallows in New Hampshire and a lot of dies and the wild turkey were dying out in my state but they brought back with the help of man. The bald eagle made a comeback once DDT was banned. I have not seen a blue bird in my state for years, i use to see them when I was a little girl. The last time I saw a blue bird was in 1999 when I was in OK.
George Badley, the state veterinarian with Arkansas' Livestock and Poultry Commission, says tests on a handful of the thousands of dead birds all showed internal injuries.
"The 17 birds we did a necropsy on had internal bleeding that looks like blunt force trauma -- like they ran into something, would be our best guess," Dr. George Badley told CTV's Canada AM Tuesday morning.
Tests have, so far, ruled out poison and lightning as the cause of the birds' mass death.
The director of Cornell University's ornithology lab in Ithaca, N.Y., said the most likely suspect is violent weather. It's probable that thousands of birds were asleep, roosting in a single tree, when a "washing machine-type thunderstorm" sucked them up into the air, disoriented them, and even fatally soaked and chilled them.
I thought the number was over 500?Earlier in the thread, I mentioned that there has been constant earthquakes being detected in Guy, Arkansas, 40 miles north of the town of Beebe.
From what I know, they have detected at least 400 earthquakes there since September. There has been five recorded earthquakes since January 1st. 3 were recorded on NYE, 4 the day before.
