Is it the beginning of the end times? After all, three is a Biblical number and that’s how many mass animal deaths that have been reported in Arkansas and Louisiana as of this writing. The day after 100,000 drum were found belly-up in the Arkansas River, 4,000 to 5,000 red-winged blackbirds dropped dead from the sky in Beebe, Ark. Now, 500 more dead blackbirds have been found littering a quarter-stretch of Louisiana highway. Naturally, the rampant speculation and baseless theorizing is already underway.
That speculation began with fingers pointing at the weather over Beebe at the time of the blackbird decimation, as thunderstorms were just departing the area when the birds began dropping from the sky before midnight of New Year’s Eve (ominous!). MSNBC, gathering some opinions from ornithological experts, reported that perhaps foul weather was the culprit.
This has happened before – flocks of birds can be caught off guard in bad weather, literally plucked from their roosts and thrust into the air by violent weather systems, leaving them disoriented, cold, and sometimes without life.Later yesterday, other sources were reporting that loud noise could have been behind the Arkansas incident. Necropsies performed yesterday showed the Arkansas birds suffered internal injuries that formed blood clots that went to their brains. It’s conceivable that loud noise (NYE fireworks?) could have startled a flock, causing them to rapidly change course and plunge headlong into buildings or tall trees, sustaining blunt traumas that led to their collective death.
Of course, none of this accounts for the 500 freshly dead birds in Louisiana. Those, of course, could be completely unrelated to the Arkansas birds (don’t be fooled by randomness, people). But we like a good conspiracy theory better. Besides, what about all those dead drum? Something smells fishy indeed, but who could possibly benefit from knocking off a bunch of birds in the American south? NASA? BP? Aliens? Our money is on Captain Chesley “Sully” Sullenberger, who was never really afforded an opportunity to even the score with his avian nemeses.

I found the hazmat suits excessive for picking up some 'frightened' and 'confused' birds. Sounds more like fowl play to me.
Everybody, it's not the end of days.
The birds just smashed into invisible alien spacecrafts.
Oh, wait ...
How about this:
In the B-movie "The Core," American scientists have disrupted the earth's core and magnetic field which causes birds and other animals to suddenly go crazy and lose their sense of direction.
Perhaps we should be looking at science experiments that are manipulating magnetic fields or even the earth's core. It happened in Hollywood people, it could happen here too!

This happened in Austin Tx also, where there were chemical trail jets. It's obvious it's from inhaling something. My theory is that it's from chemical trail jets which are going to cause many problems for this country
What are chemical trail jets?

I imagine is what informationseek was implying.
I doubt chemical trails are the sole culprit here. The reports have repatedly suggested the birds "smashed into something."
Reports of trauma resembling high impact. Fractured bones, flattened portions of the body that didn't seem to originate with impact from the ground after the fall.
Basically, invisible UFO motherships are more feasible than chemicals at this point.
As for meddling with earth's magnetics... I'd like to point out that the earth is big. Very, very big. I highly doubt anything on earth that is man-made can have any impact on the magnetic field. There just isn't technology for alteration on that kind of grand scale. Nuclear warheads might cause a small ripple if they managed to get into the Earth's core... but c'mon. Even if we DID make it all the way down there, why waste warheads on it when we can be chucking them at other countries?
Secondly, what would magnetics have to do with the birds dropping dead? It might confuse them and make them scatter or fly the wrong direction... one might argue the change of direction could make them fly INTO something- but these massacres occurred in open fields with no obstructions. So even if it were a magnetic issue, there's still nothing tangible for the birds to fly into. Except for the ground, maybe, but the birds FELL to the ground, not FLEW into it. Again, magnetics just doesn't seem to work.

Don't forget!!! V is back on tonight. Little miss lizard lips is just tryin' to scare us with the birds and fish. Or it could be a Skunk Ape.
My experiment using metamaterials to create a flying invisibility cloak suitable for a Cat has gone horribly wrong. I apologize to the Citizens of Arkansas...
The locations of the mass deaths definitely rule out the massive natural gas drilling operations in north west Louisiana...
what about the possibility of a virus in certain insects that both the drums and blackbirds eat?
Agri giant MONSANTO is probably responsible

HAARP Conspiracy taking place??
I tend to lean towards weather/firework detonation and then to poisoning/chemical pollution as the most likely culprits so far.
Pressure changes from explosive fireworks seem likely to cause the injuries reported, and there have been many cases in the past where "safe" fertilizers and pesticides have proven NOT to be safe.
@shadowsurfur mentioned that the autopsies indicate fractures and internal injuries prior to death... which seems to suggest fireworks/weather patterns as more likely than poisoning...
However, it would be pretty hard to tell whether or not the birds sustained injuries before or after death since the fall to the ground would be such a quick time (there isn't a big difference between a living bird and a poisoned bird not being able to flap its wings and plummeting to the ground).
Also... if it WERE weather patterns, the birds could have smashed into each other. They fly around together in big flocks--very close to each other.
Not hard to imagine a sudden gust of wind smashing one side of the flock into the other side, causing injuries as if the birds flew into something (because they did, they flew into each other).
"Necropsies performed yesterday showed the Arkansas birds suffered internal injuries that formed blood clots that went to their brains" So falling from who knows how high up in the sky doesn't cause internal injuries to happen??
Assuming that the birds did hit a building first and then just flew off (which in and of itself is reaching for it) only to later have blood clots form and drop dead, what are the chances that it would happen to all 4000-5000 of them? It seems to me that investigators should look for something that can affect birds in the sky plus fish in the water. Personally, my money is that there is something in the water....clouds+storms= water in the atmosphere in the form of vapor and when it rains, water on the ground and tributaries leading to rivers.
hitting the ground from several hundred feet could probably get your trauma
I think it's radiation, whether by accident or design, their might be radiation. It'll hit the birds first, quickly killing them off, and maybe it's only airbourne, or there is too little to harm us, or it hasn't reached landfall yet. Now it can be any type of radiation, but if anything to kill them off quickly it would be gamma. I don't know for sure, just another theory, but think about it: Radiation somehow leaking in the world, and it's hitting different places. in 2007 there was many bird deaths all over SE Asia, Austrailia, Idaho, Texas, and other places! It might be happening again, whatever it is.
Please have an open mind, okay what if the us has this weapon in space man-made in the testing phase to throw a beam or crushing sound wave from space with pin point accuracy. Just my own little theory. if you agree email me.
Okay, is no one gettting the fact that all of these are the same species bird? What is up with that, were there no other birds in the sky at the time? And then the fish that were also dead, they were all the same fish (drum fish). Doesn't anyone think that is a a bit strange......Lots of fish in the waters, but only one type died???????
Wait a minute, wasn't there a parasite or bacteria a few years back that was killing a bunch of birds in the central and southern states? What if that bacteria or parasite (or whatever) evolved or changed somehow and is making the birds sick enough to crash into things?
There's a lot of fracking going on in the vicinity of Guy, Arkansas, which has experienced hundreds of earthquakes over the past few months perhaps as a result. Possibly, contaminants from the drilling have seeped into the surface water and the birds drank it and became poisoned and while en route to points elsewhere they became too sick to fly and fell out of the sky, thereby fatally injuring themselves.
I realize this is a longer explanation than "The Lord Jehovah is smiting us," so it violates Occam's Razor.
They crashed into invisible UFO motherships. Mystery sloved
Some of you really crack me up. I needed a few good laughs this morning.
So here is what I think, based only upon the limited amount of information brought to us by the "media", bird behaviors, geography, and a little common sense- which is really not based on much, but just another theory to think about.
The source of the "toxin" whether natural or whatever, is the fish. Birds eat fish, fly for a while, then die. Louisianna is down the river from Arkansas. That flock of birds also ate the dead fish, and died.
Did anyone even say what they tested for?
Jesus... First off, fireworks??? Seriously? If fireworks were a factor, chances are there would be reports of "CHARRED ALL TO H311 BIRDS." There were no mentions of firework activity in the area, and a few fireworks is NOT enough to kill 500+ birds.
Secondly, the reports of "trauma" to the birds has been determined to NOT be from smashing into the ground. When you look at the geology of the terrain, and compare it to the trauma exhibited on the birds, you'll definitely see the difference. A bird that smashed into a flat object is going to look far more different from a bird who smashed into the ground. These birds look like they collided with something in mid-air.
A virus or toxin is feasible, though I still doubt it. What are the odds the virus/toxin striking 500+ birds at EXACTLY the same moment? Realistically, birds would be falling randomly here and there until nothing of the flock was left. The reports have detailed the birds falling out of the sky en masse, a giant falling heap of birds. Not birds sprinkled here and there across the fields.
A radiation pulse or something seems most likely at this point, but I seriously doubt it originated from some futuristing space weapon. My guess is that it was probably Radar or something. Radar waves are powerful enough to cause severe sickness and sometimes even cancer in humans (In my field of work, we're required to completely shut down the Radar before someone goes up to do maintenance, due to the harmful nature of Radar waves). If Radar can make someone violently ill, it's perfectly acceptable to think that it can probably wipe out a bunch of birds.
This is all under the assumption that Arkansas is technologically advanced to know what Radar is, much less how to use it.

Testing for FlashForward
Well the bible calls them the fouls of the air. We at Fire Power Ministries and many other Christian warriors were praying overnight new years eve. 11pm to 5am. Commanding all powers and principalities against our homes, destinies and ministries to be electrocuted. And of course prayer points like 'every witchcraft bird flying for my sake should crash land and die will bring them down'. I expect a lot of deaths to witches and wizards if they do not repent and ask for the mercy of God. Well Jesus is coming soon. You guys read the book of Revelation and get right with God before its too late. Check our ministry if you need to learn how to pray.www.firepowerministry.org.
Isn't the LHC creating mini-black holes now? Gravitational forces on a small compact scale could (blah, blah, something scientific and smart, blah, blah). See. Clear as a black hole.
I did it, what can i say, i got bored and i had this BB gun sitting here...
The Military has a HUGE, triangle shaped craft that can cloak itself. It displays an image on any side that is actually whats on the opposite side, therefore giving the appearance of invisibility. This is what the birds have flown into. Poor birds.
No wait, I changed my mind after hearing of the mass fish deaths also. Its Residual illness from the Oil Spill in the gulf! I am a Genius !
A lot of good theories are available in the dead parrot Monty Python skit.
its only one type of bird and fish so it cant be from the oil spill
The dead birds i have no way of explaining but the dead fish could possibly be from lack oxygen. I have seen it happen in Florida. Plus, there were dead birds found in Sweden. Look it up on MSN.
One possible senario could be a magnetic anamoly such as a solar flare where the birds are disoriented and fall to their death.
they killed those birds so the general populance can be distracted as possible by fears so they forget that the world economy is on the brink of collapse.. to comprehend the scope of this situation causes migranes and blackouts, so most people rather be distracted by dying birds and biblical prophecy.
i wonder what the next distraction is going to be, while these current ones are cute, they will not be effective for long.
There is a few questions.. the birds in Barbee fell out of the sky at like 11:30 at night. Is it common for those types of birds to be in flight in numbers at that time of the night? Since this has become rather important, i guess it wouldnt hurt to try and verify that there was loud noises in that area at the time that the birds was falling. Not just assume that since it was the new years eve that there was noise out in the country.
I dont think we have a good understanding on animals senses and how they use them. Like bats for example. We say they use radar. Is that true? no not really, its just our explaination of how they fly at night. It might be a type of radar, but im sure its not like we think and it will be linked to 3-4 other sensors that all feed together to direct the motion of that animal. There motions arn't thought out moves, but instinctual moves based on there sensory input. What are those inputs is the question, then if you could answer that which ones went down to cause erratic flight at high speed? Magnetic anomoly and or askewed vibrations(from earthquakes)?
I read a commentor giving a list of die offs around the world and one that caught my attention was one in which red snappers washed up on the beach and it was noted that the eyes seemed to be missing. And i saw some pics of the drumhead in arkansas and when i saw those pictures i noted the eyes was gone on several and the bodys didnt look in bad shape. Strange.
Cant wait to hear the end story on this.
Still don't get it? NEW YEARS...FIREWORKS! This accounts for the fish too, because the leftovers from fireworks can't be good for fish, people are always shooting fireworks over water and fish will eat anything! Can I get my science award now teacher?
According to the 3d Sun App:
Dec 30th
NASA STEREO-B spacecraft is monitoring a vast dark hole in the sun's atmosphere. Solar wind flowing from the hole should reach earth by Jan. 4-5 2011
Jan. 7th
A solar windstream hit earth's magnetic field during the early hours of Jan. 7th sparking a G1 class geomagnetic storm and bright aurora's around the arctic circle.
I am wondering if the birds dying could be caused by northern lights happening far south of the arctic circle due to the big coronal hole that opened in the sun. I've heard that northern lights contain alot of electricity, look it up on youtube Just trying to point someone that knows more than me in the general direction.
How high do blackbirds normally fly? There are usually no birds in Alaska around the time the northern lights are visible. I remember coming back from Iraq to Alaska on a plane, watching a movie. All of a sudden it started scrambling as we started our descent. I looked out the window and there were northern lights everywhere close to eye level.
I have heard of Northern Lights as being toxic space radiation.
This is a serious topic and I don't see the humor in here the way the author Clay Dillow does. Perhaps he should be writing for The Onion.

I hope you ministry zealots are the first to go when Ragnarok happens.
Ok, well, a toxic gas compound released as a result of frakking in the area or an earthquake, one that could act as a nerve agent on the fish, then rise through the water into the air, and if it has an odor, could induce the birds to fly in an attempt to get away, and if the lead birds fly downwind to gain the most speed the rest will follow, and the toxic gas or basically natural nerve agent would logically disperse but could then still conceivably be concentrated enough to still act as a fatal nerve agent; again, explaining the broken bones and wracked bodies, the clots too...but the fish eyes, I don't know. I know our planet has some truly funky and deadly compounds down there; and that a lot of it is in gas form.
Do we have any of our old WWI and WWII chemical weapons storage facilities around there? We've had problems with those old seals rotting in some of those bunkers over in the Carolinas, if I remember correctly. We've always known those are something we have to truly deal with someday.
A high powered ultrasonic weapon?
@Shadowsurfur, your comments are full of daft relations to conspiracy theories which are a complete waste of time, if anything, they are weapons of mass distraction. Chem Trails, really? Polar Shifts occur every couple thousand of years, and yes, the magnetic forces changing DO have the ability to cause such damage to animals like this, a polar shift has much to do with our tectonic plates and the constant movement / flow of the earths mantle and core. The Northern and Southern poles essentially "switch" positions, taking each others position respectively, when this occurs, the magnetic forces which help hold things like our atmosphere in place are altered, density of gas in certain elevations relative to the factors these forces play on it can vary. However, with that being said, there are also other things to factor in, such as these birds, and the fish mentioned previously, and the eating habits they have. Assuming they consume 1-2 things daily, each which will most likely have a 50% chance of being affected by the previous oil spills, gives these birds and fish a high chance of also being directly affected by the oil, if such a thing happened, the oil mixed with the various chemical substances in the variance of hosts it had stayed in can coagulate and undergo massive physical and chemical changes, which can alter its current host.
I live in southeast la. and for the past few days I have found several dead birds on my property. What did they die of...IDK? I do know that this is not natural. We didn't have fireworks going off, no loud booms, no extemely cold weather and haven't noticed any aliens lurking around.So what could it be??? I'm sure science always has an explanation for such events. SO WHAT IS IT MASTER BRAINS?
Over the past week there has been a huge spike in USGS Earthquake seismographs with almost every country monitored around the world registering 4.0 and above on the rictor scale. Meanwhile, right on cue, after weeks of silence, the HAARP induction magnometer shows off-the-charts readings lining up with the seismic activity. Check out this video. What does everybody think?,
