Thousands of dead birds dropped from the air in AR around Brand new Years, followed by a similar event involving deceased birds in Louisiana days later. The two occurrences are eerily comparable, and took place within days and a few hundred miles apart.
Deceased birds in Louisiana follow AR incident
Reports are emerging of massive numbers of deceased birds falling out of Louisiana skies. The event took place just days after the small town of Beebe, Ark., saw several thousand blackbirds drop out of the sky on Brand new Years’ Eve. A stretch of interstate in northern Louisiana in Pointe Coupee Parish near Labarre, Louisiana, had over 500 blackbirds, starlings, and sparrows’ rain from the sky, according to CNN. The plunge did not kill all the birds. They did all die though. The rain of deceased birds occurred about 300 miles south of Beebe, Ark., where the original incident of dead birds pouring from the sky took place. The incidents might be connected. The birds from both have been sent for testing.
AR birds die due to trauma
The necropsy, or autopsy, of the deceased birds from Arkansas indicates the birds likely died from trauma suffered that brought on the birds to drop from the sky. A physical tension to the breast tissue was what the Arkansas Game and Fish Commissioner said taken place to the birds. Most specimens had hemorrhaged and were bleeding internally. It did not seem like there was a disease.
Experiencing a variety of raining birds
Hail or lightening might very well have been responsible for the groups of birds being dead. There might have been a cold weather and storm front that moved through. The first event might have had fireworks as part of what taken place since birds in flight have difficulty with loud noises, although there is no connection to the second event.
