1,000 Birds Fall from Arkansas Sky in Hitchcockian Scene

Quite frankly, lately I feel that concerning any news of any real importance, us peons are just being treated like mushrooms by the government controlled major media outlets.....

More than 100 dead birds found off Calif. highway

GEYSERVILLE, Calif. – California wildlife officials are trying to figure out what caused the death of more than 100 birds found clustered together just off Highway 101.

The Santa Rosa Press Democrat reports that California Highway Patrol officers found the dead birds near the roadway on Saturday and called in the state Department of Fish and Game to investigate.

The officers who found the birds described them as small with brown and black feathers. They were intact and had not been shot.

The reports come as other, larger bird deaths have been reported in Arkansas, Louisiana and other states.

Scientists say mass die-offs of wildlife happen regularly, and are usually unrelated and unreported.

While scientists and specialists are investigating why massive numbers of birds have dropped dead from the sky elsewhere in the country, Sonoma County now has its own bird deaths mystery to solve, reported the CHP.

More than 100 birds were found dead Saturday afternoon clustered on the ground off of Highway 101, south of Geyserville, Officer Jon Sloat reported Monday.

Officers responded to Independence Lane at about 2:30 p.m. Saturday and found dozens of birds dead on and around the roadway.

The California Department of Fish and Game was notified and a local warden responded. He took several of the birds away to be identified and tested by a biologist, Sloat said.

The birds all appeared to be the same type, small with feathers in brown and black, according to photos taken by officers.

The birds hadn't been shot and most were intact, officers reported.

What caused the deaths wasn't clear Saturday.

Immediate attempts to reach Fish and Game were not successful.

One theory was that the birds were hit by a semi truck, but that was just speculation and perhaps unlikely given the large number of birds, officers reported.

Much larger cases of birds dying at the same time have occurred recently in Arkansas and Louisiana.

On New Year's Eve as many as 5,000 red-winged blackbirds fell from the sky in Central Arkansas.

More recently, about 500 birds were found in Pointe Coupee Parish in Louisiana, about 300 miles from the Arkansas bird deaths.

Scientists and wildlife officials are attempting to determine what happened.

HMMM.. I don't remember there being any fireworks in the last few days.

Probably just some residual effects from the New Year fireworks......

This is not good... "The following are some recent mysterious bird deaths and fish death incidences that have occurred in the United States"

12/31/2010 5,000 red winged blackbirds plunged to their death.

01/03/2011 100,000 fish wash up dead in Arkansas

01/04/2011 500 birds were found littering a Louisiana highway

01/05/2011 Hundreds of birds fall out of the sky in Murray Kentucky

01/06/2011 Thousands of Turtle Doves fall from the sky, dead in Italy

01/06/2011 Two million fish that wash up on the shores of the Chesapeake Bay in Maryland

01/06/2011 40,000 Crabs wash up dead on the coastline near Kent, England.

Here's an interesting theory.

I think someone should try to figure out PRONTO what is going on... But you know what? With the government spending money like there is no tomorrow, you do have to wonder if they already DO know something that they just aren't talking about.

I'm trying to read a lot of stuff on the web, but honestly there are an awful lot of just plain crazy assed people out there. So trying to pick the wheat out of the chaff is extremely difficult to do. So much so that it may be intentional. I don't know what is scarier. That there IS something big going on being covered up with misinformation, or there ARE as many loony birds out there pecking away at keyboards as I see....

USDA admits role in large bird kill

When birds began mysteriously falling from the sky a couple of weeks ago, some conspiratorial minds were convinced that the government was involved. One line of speculation held that the Pentagon was conducting a secret weapons experiment that killed the birds. Another theorized that the feds were covering up the air-befouling practices of a major player in agribusiness or the energy industry.

Now we know that the government did have a hand in at least one of the kills, though this revelation doesn't seem to involve sinister intrigue.

Yes, the Agriculture Department said Thursday, it did have a hand in the recent mass killing of starlings in South Dakota. According to the USDA, the birds were poisoned in Nebraska to help farmers who had complained about starling flocks defecating into livestock feed troughs. The birds dropped dead en masse after migrating north.

According to the Christian Science Monitor:
"The USDA's Wildlife Services Program, which contracts with farmers for bird control, said it used an avicide poison called DRC-1339 to cull a roost of 5,000 birds that were defecating on a farmer's cattle feed across the state line in Nebraska. But officials said the agency had nothing to do with large and dense recent bird kills in Arkansas and Louisiana.

"Nevertheless, the USDA's role in the South Dakota bird deaths puts a focus on a little-known government bird-control program that began in the 1960s under the name of Bye Bye Blackbird, which eventually became part of the USDA and was housed in the late '60s at a NASA facility. In 2009, USDA agents euthanized more than 4 million red-winged blackbirds, starlings, cowbirds, and grackles, primarily using pesticides that the government says are not harmful to pets or humans."

Surely this news will calm all the "aflockalypse" hysteria out there, right? Oh, who are we kidding: Any sign of federal involvement will be seized on as another layer in the elaborate cover-up. This is the Internet, after all.

(sounds like a cover story to me. And is it just me? but I am rather disturbed by the fact that the USDA is killing off millions of birds each year)

COVER UP!!!

Yeah, if a private individual did something like that, he would probably wind up in jail on animal cruelty charges. But for the government, it's perfectly OK for them to do.

BTW, yeah, I know this was found on a rather off the wall forum, but honestly, it IS an intriguing line of thought...
