It's not only the Birds

Now HUNDREDS more birds fall from the sky in Kentucky and Louisiana and tens of THOUSANDS of dead fish wash ashore while the government is saying it was probably fireworks" or cold weather but that excuse is being challenged by some as "for the birds.

• 500 carcasses collected after dying in Louisiana on Monday

• As many as 5,000 birds dead in Arkansas on New Year's Eve

• Kentucky woman reports dozens of dead birds in her yard

• Up to 100,000 dead and dying drum fish washed up in Arkansas River

• Tens of thousands of dead fish in Chesapeake Bay in Maryland

• 8,000 little birds fall from the sky in Italy

"The thousands of blackbirds that plummeted to their deaths in front of horrified New Year revelers in Arkansas may have been sent into their deadly spirals by fireworks, raining onto rooftops and into fields as Beebe residents enjoyed the midnight celebrations." Fireworks always worry me here because of our peacock. He sleeps in a pine tree right by the trailer court on 6th Avenue South and those people are non-stop with fireworks. On New Year's Eve the crackling and pops and noise finally stopped around 1am but bright and early the next morning they started up again. This practice is probably against Ordinance but we don't see the Sheriff patrolling that much out this way.

But the above doesn't explain why more than "500 birds dropped dead from the sky in Louisiana last Monday or why a Kentucky woman found dozens of dead birds in her yard. And just a 100 miles away from Beebe's mass bird kill, at least 83,000 dead and dying fish washed ashore, and possibly as many as 100,000."

Is there something else going on?
