5000 dead black birds fall out of the sky

It's probably worth mentioning that they were black.

Also, a mile is not a unit of area.
 
End of days starts now.
 
Heard about it on the news, they kept saying that it 'may have been due to being scared to death by New Years fireworks.'
Must suck to be a bird on July 4th I would think.
 
and I for one welcome our new bird killer demons overlords
 
Scared to death by fireworks? Come on, that's got to be an even more unlikely cause than space aliens.
 
Oh shit, Flash Forward! Its the company doing tests on their device!

Pretty soon we're all going to be blacking out and having 2 minute visions of what we're doing 6 months in the future! Better hope you have a vision, OR ELSE THAT MEANS YOU WILL DIE WITHIN SIX MONTHS OH SHIT
 
I've heard of something like this happening before. In some part of America hundreds (maybe thousands, i can't remember) of birds dropped out of the sky. I also can't remember what was said to have caused it but it definitely happened 1-2 years ago.
 
They probably died from methane or some other gas. But what do I know.
 
Did any of you people even read the article? It explains the probable causes. Honestly none of you understand the gravity of the problem at all.

Our imaginations were soaring with possible causes for this, but now you've gone and took the wind right out from under us.
 
Don't worry, it's just the US Military testing its death-sphere again.

Oil spill. Evaporated and the cloud of oil killed the birds then precipitated into the river.

Or it's just two unrelated events.
 
All the FlashForward references in this thread make me sad. ABC never gave them a chance:(.

FlashForward never went anywhere extremely fun. I watched it and felt like it was a giant tease

Just have got to mention that it was not ABC has god pretty much nothing to do with it's cancellation. Technically they were right to do it. People simply didn't seem to enjoy the show.

Premiere numbers vs finale numbers.
 
This is some pretty controversial viral marketing for The Birds II.
 
Hundreds of fish washed up in New Zealand recently, weird.
 
There's a logical explanation for all of this.

Not a surprise either.

The recent, mysterious deaths of thousands of blackbirds in Arkansas and Louisiana around New Year's Eve has made news around the world and defied a conclusive answer. The best explanation so far is that fireworks may have scared or disoriented the birds, causing them to fatally injure themselves flying into buildings, water towers and trees.

As bizarre and unexplained as these events may seem, they are only the latest of many mysterious animals deaths over the years. Here are a few cases:

Frog Rains

Charles Fort, an early collector of reports about strange and curious phenomena, noted the following in his tome "The Book of the Damned," first published in 1919: "A shower of frogs which darkened the air and covered the ground for a long distance is the reported result of a recent rainstorm at Kansas City, Mo." This report first appeared in the July 12, 1873 issue of "Scientific American." Fort noted dozens of other, similar reports from around the world, including England, France, Germany and Tahiti. Scientists think that strong winds could, under the right circumstances, lift and carry small, light animals (including small frogs and fish) short distances, for example from a pond to a nearby street.

Fishy Storm

According to a report in the Los Angeles Times (cited in "The World's Most Incredible Stories: The Best of Fortean Times," 1992, Barnes & Noble Books), on Dec. 19, 1984, drivers on L.A.'s Santa Monica Freeway found themselves driving over fish and crabs during a storm. Most of the animals seemed to be alive (at least temporarily), and some speculated that the animals might have somehow fallen out of the sky with the rain. The California Highway Patrol, however, suggested the animals had simply fallen off a delivery truck on the way to a restaurant, though there were no reports of accidents in the area.

Suicidal Geese?

In August 2005, two flocks of geese were discovered dead on a farm in Manitoba, Canada. More than 200 of the lifeless birds were littered across a field. Strangely, there were no external injuries: No gunshot wounds or any other apparent reason they would have fallen out of the moonless night sky. Officials suspected that someone (or something) had poisoned the geese, but the case took a bizarre twist when toxicology tests came back negative. In fact, the injuries were consistent with a mass suicide; the birds seemingly flew directly into the ground. Canadian wildlife officials were puzzled, but a study finally concluded that the geese had become disoriented in the darkness, lost sight of the horizon, and accidentally smashed into the ground. (Similar pilot error has killed many animals and people, including John F. Kennedy, Jr.)

Exploding Toads

In 2005, Germany experienced one of the strangest animal deaths on record. Over 1,000 toads simply exploded for no apparent reason, splattering their gory intestines everywhere. According to a report from "The Independent" (U.K.), "The tabloid press went into overdrive, dubbing the carnage site in Hamburg's Altona district the 'Pond of Death' and warning children and dogs to stay away. Theories ran wild that toads were committing suicide or were croaking because of a virus spread by South American race horses." A zoologist autopsied the toads and discovered that they had been attacked by birds, and their livers eaten. The toad's natural body defenses caused them to puff up — and with their livers missing, gruesomely explode.

Horses and Mules

Nearly two dozen horses and mules were found mysteriously killed in rural El Paso County, Colo., in October 2005. Twenty-three animals were discovered dead in two separate incidents over the course of about three weeks. Most of the beasts were thought to have been shot to death, because some were found with what appeared to be bullet wounds in their necks and hides. Yet further investigation revealed that the injuries (at about an inch deep) were too shallow to have killed the animals. No other obvious injuries or marks were found on the horses and mules, and some suspected they might instead have been poisoned for some reason. Finally investigators concluded that most of the animals, if not all of them, had been struck by lightning.

except they're not crows so it doesn't work

The twist is that cars release a deadly, bird-killing gas when pooped on.

We'll be treated to a scene of Mark Wahl-bird talking soothingly to a car, only to realise it's actually a tractor.
