Dead Birds and Fish Update
Witnesses in Italy said thousands of turtle doves fell from the sky, Wednesday, Jan. 5, following a series of incidents in the United States and Sweden.
According to residents in the town of Faenza, birds were falling from the sky like “little Christmas balls." The reports are similar to witness accounts from New Year’s Eve when Arkansas partygoers took cover as 4,000 red-winged blackbirds and starlings pinged cars, rooftops and roadways.
Unlike birds that died in other areas of the world, the turtle doves were found with a strange blue stain on their beaks.
“We have no idea,” a witness said via e-mail, “why this happened all of the sudden. The doves just started falling one-by-one then in groups of 10s and 20s.”
Initial tests of the doves indicated that the blue stains on the beaks could have been caused by poisoning or hypoxia.
Hypoxia, a lack of oxygen, is known to cause confusion and illness in animals. It is also a common precursor to altitude sickness.
Scientists in Italy said official test results done on many of the dead turtle doves will not be available for at least a week.
Unlike incidents in Sweden and the U.S., the kill in Italy marks the first in which poisoning or sickness is suspected.
Birds in Arkansas, Louisiana and Kentucky showed signs of blunt trauma. Many birds were found with broken wings, necks, beaks and legs, suggesting they became confused and flew into solid structures.
Italian officials also said cold weather could be a factor in the kill. The flock could have been swept into a high-altitude wind storm before dropping to the earth.
As of press time, the number of dead turtle doves near Faenza was expected to reach 8,000 or more.
Until test results are in, the incident will remain a mystery.
What do you think?

I think that it's caused by a magnetic flux, birds are very sensitive to the earth's magnetic fields: http://elibrary.unm.edu/sora/Auk/v109n01/p0043-p0056.pdf. Are there any universities out there measuring magnetic fields that can tell us if there is a correlation?
I thought the same exact thing.
I just read an article where they stopped flights to a Tampa airport because the earths magnetic field shifted and caused the latitude/ longitude to be off!! Could this be the cause???
I believe this is biblical in the last book of the bible 8:8 it talks how the warning signs involve Jesus coming if you have any ?s about the bible im willing to help on it contact danettev_95@yahoo.com God bless you
I don't see where you made the connection between bird/fish death and stone age fairy tales.
Sorry..

The reason birds fall from the sky and fish are washing ashore is rather simple and obvious. One simple clue, What was the most recent environmental event that killed off the shrimping industry and other sea life? Oil spill? How about the mysterious chemical dispersants to break down the oil and that was burned in the air along with the oil. Now try to get that out of BP and the governments!
Got something to say?
