Should we be more concerned about the recent bird deaths affecting large flocks?

Reports from Sweden of hundreds of dead blackbirds have surfaced on the heels of thousands of birds found dead in Arkansas on New Years Day and hundreds more dead in Louisana earlier this week. The cause of the bird deaths has not yet been determined, but one possibility offered is that New Years fireworks startled the birds into taking flight at night and they died of fright after bumping into other birds, trees, or buildings.

In addition to the bird deaths, there was a massive fish die-off in Arkansas, and there has been more news related to the declining bee population.

Should we be paying more attention to these events and possible causes? Or are we finding patterns and connections between isolated incidents?

    • The recent wildlife deaths seem to have all occured along with some natural disasters, all during solar wind/flare activities .This lead me to research online all the information i could find that wasn't written by religious fanatics, or conspiracy theorists.
      Firstly i asked myself " what do all the wildlife have in common?"
      And the answer is High Magnetite levels in their biology for navigation,migration,and spawning ground "calls".
      Then i searched for any and all activity on a celestial scale and found there to be solar activity during the recent outbursts of earthquakes and other natural disasters as well as wildlife dying in an unnatural cycle.
      Then i ask myself " Since everything occuring , both geological and biological, all stem from Electromagnetic stimuli, How are these intense levels getting through the atmosphere?"
      Then i also noticed that the places where the most severe wildlife deaths occured are home to Rare natural deposits of Magnetite underground and in watersheds.via the USGS information.Arkansas has one of the largest.

      next i have to wonder how such high levels of solar radiation are penetrating the protective layers of our atmosphere to inflict these damages?

      one possibility is the solar activity is amplified somehow stronger than normal.

      or maybe the migrating north pole is weakening the ability of the atmosphere to filter out the solar winds/flares.

      then i looked into any possible reason whatsoever and new questions arised from credible information i found on recognised government sources online.
      I came to find that there are an uncanny amount of research facilities globaly whom are altering the Ionisphere for various experimental purposes.The effects they produce in the Ionosphere with billions of watts individualy are not communicated to one another,or a governing agency..And the effected areas of the Ionosphere take time to "Heal Over". as they explained.
      So i can't help but wonder if these solar radiations are passing through the altered Ionosphere before it has " healed Over" Or if the Magnetite Deposits on earth are drawing the solar winds through the compromised filter faster than it can compensate?
      It all revolves around the substrate of Magnetite being excited to produce electric current in their bodies,the question that i can not seem to find a solution for is: How are these levels getting past the Atmospheric filters in such large quantities?"It either electricutes them inside causing them to hemorage and convulse,or gives them a false positive in their navigation biology,causing them to smash into things.or to get beached like a whale.
      Might I suggest legislation that prohibits any atmospheric experiments during the charted onset of solar activity headed our way?because it seems to me that we shouldn't be seeing such levels making it through to earth and there has to be a scientific , sound explanation. and the only thing that could be weakening our natural defenses against solar activity in such a manner seems to lead to the only science that is tampering with it's balance for DECADES now,perhaps just overlooking the solar event schedule by accident? it couldn't hurt to have a governing agency to make sure too many chefs in the kitchen dont go too far mixing their experiments into a deadly scenario.better safe than sorry.

      Whatever the case,natural,or manmade,these wildlife creatures were killed and lead to death by the magnetite in their biology.and that just isn't supposed to happen.

    • we should be concerned with all the animals diying off and i think we as people need to figure out what it is that is killing everything. we cant just keep listening to main street media and their half baked ideas on about whats going on. if the release of phosegene chemical was the cause of this and its killing animals world wide aint the united states in some serious trouble? ...and if the animals are dying .....wont it affect the people to? ..... small animals may dying right now but whats to say that it doesnt start happinig to biger ones? ...... it might not happen over night but give it a year or two and food prices will sky rocket and there will be less food and if the animals are infected what we suppose to eat

    • In the U.S. media they're actually saying: 1.That there's no connection at all between the dead fish and the dead birds. and 2.That it was fireworks that made the birds fly into buildings! The people who are at the front lines of putting out these asinine statements clearly think that the public is completely without intelligence and willing to swallow any absurd "explanation" if it's repeated incessantly for a time and attached to the lips of some so-called "experts". Hmmmm...could they be right about that?

      I've been saying, since I heard the first thing about the redwinged blackbirds and fish in Arkansas, that there are now toxic clouds not too far up that are gathering from all the burning and evaporation they encouraged to happen in the spill and getting more dense. I figured that just like their chemicals cause congealing of the oil in the water its also combined in the air for a gaseous congealing of sorts so now theres the same kinds of toxic clouds in the air that there were/are in the water. Then when it rains through those gas clouds it precipitates out and poisons the inland fresh water and some species are more immediately killed off than others. I've heard also that this is not just happening in the U.S.

      Of course this will be denied and possibly several such mindbendingly stupid explanations as "blunt trauma" and fireworks displays will be spat out by various "experts" until the corrupt, junk science establishment can come to a consensus about what idiotic party line they feel comfortable getting behind as their official pronouncement in an effort to provide culpable deniability for their corporate masters.

      16:3 And the second angel poured out his vial upon the sea; and it became as the blood of a dead man: and every living soul died in the sea.

      16:4 And the third angel poured out his vial upon the rivers and fountains of waters; and they became blood.

      16:5 And I heard the angel of the waters say, Thou art righteous, O Lord, which art, and wast, and shalt be, because thou hast judged thus.

      16:6 For they have shed the blood of saints and prophets, and thou hast given them blood to drink; for they are worthy.

      16:7 And I heard another out of the altar say, Even so, Lord God Almighty, true and righteous are thy judgments.

      (King James Bible, Revelation)

    • more concerned than what? i would be interested in finding how many of these events happened at this time last year, and if this is just another 'avian flu' that the media and internet has latched onto to create a buzz, a sense of general unease which of course only their advertisers products can relieve, and more static away from the big picture of our eroding freedoms

    • The birds, the bees, the bats, the frogs, the fish
      all have been dying off at an alarming rate worldwide over the past decade.
      This is nothing new.
      So what do we do?
      Nothing but talk.

    • We should be concerned about the rapid decline of both plant and animal biodiversity globally as a whole. We have lost touch with our planet and placed profit above all else, and these are now the consequences we see unfolding.

    • More concerned about the bees than the birds to be honest. It could be just a random cause that didn't cross my mind yet or maybe it's the fireworks theory. We don't even know if they died due to human intervention, and about bees we do.

    • we shouldnt necessarily be more concerned, but how about more concious about how we affect the environment. im not a huge go green activist but i mean, its clearly us that are killing birds

    • I think that there absolutely MUST be more concern about the gravity of the animal deaths!!

      I'm sick of people just shrugging it off and acting like nothing is happening. I'm also tired of people just deciding for themselves that it happened because of fireworks and then wiping it from their minds.

      My question about the fireworks theory is this -- if that's the case, why don't we see flocks of dead birds every 4th of July? It's not like they have little bird calendars and know that there will be lots of noise that day.

      the natural state of this or any environment is to be born, thrive, decay and die as they have done on worlds throughout the universe, or ant farms in kansas. our efforts to somehow stop this from happening is whats unnatural. say for the point of argument, that the universal 'environment' needed plastic to be introduced into the grand mix, so conditions adapted so that life as we know it could evolve here on earth so that one day in the next big bang, there will be some plastic in the mix.

      we are fools if we think we know what is best for this or any environment in the long run. all we are really concerned with is making sure we are comfortable in this one, and if not, then by all means feel free to donate all you have to some spotted owl, and your very flesh to feed a white tiger cub somewhere.

      well for starters, 'should we be more concerned' implies a level of concern already exists. so i would suggest less loaded questions, like 'are you concerned about the bird deaths' and perhaps follow up with whys or why nots in the actual 'discussion' part of the big freakin' discussion question of the minute thingy

      Agreed. Also the BFD doesn't always have to be about the same thing all of our co-workers(and everyone else in the world) is talking about all day. I think it would be more interesting if they were random interesting discussions instead of having to do with the BIG story everybody is talking about. Haha, I like that...RID. "Random Interesting Discussion". See, it even sounds better.
