At first it was described that approximately a thousand blackbirds died on New Years Eve and fell to earth, as well as the existing idea bordering this mysterious occasion appears to become the birds had been spooked by revellers allowing off fireworks, creating them be terrified from their roosts - only to collide in mid air, or crash into the ground.
That figure of one thousand has now been upgraded by 500%. Over 5000 birds fell on Beebe. 5000! Preliminary autopsies have been carried out on practically twenty of these 5000, and these autopsies found the next:
The stomachs of every one was empty, that has effectively ruled out poison.
There was no sign of persistent disease or infectious disease (see my comments on this beneath)
They died in mid air, not on effect using the ground
Every single bird died of blunt trauma to their organs
All exhibited blunt trauma towards the breast area
All exhibited key blood clotting.
The birds arrived from the roost near to Beebe, household to more than one hundred,000 redwings, and a research of that roost location from the Mayor of Beebe, Mike Robertson, and a few of his officials found no dead birds in any respect in the roost website.
So we are asked to think the fireworks set off by revellers at midnight spooked 5000 birds enough to obtain all those birds to collide with every other with adequate pressure to destroy them. Leaving 95,000 left inside the roost unharmed.
5000 birds collide with every other Breast to Breast Have you ever ever before noticed the beauty of a huge flock of blackbirds going to roost in the evening That big, swirling mass of birds, each and every transferring in its own area, the entire flock swooping and diving and altering direction as 1 bird
I've been seeing that phenomenon since I used to be a kid, and I've never observed 1 bird hit yet another head on, and even strike a glancing blow for that subject.
Oh, and also the midnight firework thing The very first birds began to drop to earth at 2337. Where I live the fireworks go off as the bells strike.
Contact me cynical if you would like to, but all this firework/hailstone strike malarkey would be acceptable (ish) if three days afterwards, and 300 miles away, at Baton Rouge, Louisiana, 500 with the same bird species hadn't fallen in the sky. Very clear day, bright sunlight, no fireworks, no storms, exact same bird species and exactly exactly the same accidents. Oh, and Kentucky. Dead birds there also.
In 2004/2005 we stockpiled vaccine to deal with a possible avian flu epidemic, we even banned the import of birds from outdoors the U.S., but not a phrase of that potential threat from any one within the media.
How a lot of Govt researchers converged on Beebe to conduct assessments Appears like none. Warnings provided to townspeople Not heard of any- pictures abound of unprotected members of the public handling lifeless birds.
Make your own choice about this -they didn't worry in 1896 when outside of a apparent blue sky almost a thousand lifeless birds of unique species fell in to the streets and gardens of. . . yep, you guessed it Large Bird Cages. . .
