Mystery as dead birds fall from the sky over Western Australia

Let's think about this for a minute. This is a relatively new occurrence. What has changed in the last few years? Satellite radio, and High Definition Television. Who knows what the consequences of that are? I'll bet the HD waves are the reason we are having the die off of the birds, bats, bugs and bees.

plusaf, I'm not knocking your opinion. I think everything needs checked, right now. I just think my opinion counts most. %D

BATS TOO!?!?

plusaf, with regard to honey bees disappearing, the culprit (or one of the culprits) could well be the pollen from GMO crops. See http://www.mindfully.org/GE/Transgenic-Pollen-Monarch20may99.htm

--------"this is so scary our animals or disappearing before our eyes we need to make a serious change "--------

Not likely. Sec. of the Interior Kempthorne did not declare the polar bear an endangered species because we KNEW the sea ice loss in the arctic was causing it. We KNOW it is global warming that is causeing it---but if he declared the polar bears it would mean that the government would HAVE to admit to the reality of global warming. All of the government's own scientists were in unanimous agreement that global warming is the cause. So, he and Dick Chenney hid the results of the scientific findings. It was in Dick Chenney's desk for 3 1/2 years. Various environmental groups obtained the results from the Library of Congress under the Freedom of Information Act on tip offs from secret inside sources by someone(or someones) who had authored the reports. They filed suit to force Sec. Kempthorne to act in accordance with the law and do his job. Under threat of court order, Sec. Kempthorne finally had to act. He declared the polar bear endangered, but made it clear in his announcement that he will NOT enforce the Endangered Species Act and do his job of protecting the environment. He declared that oil drilling will continue and any killing or harrassing of polar bears by oil companies will not be prosecuted. If you as a private citizen do something to damage the environment, he'd be all over you faster than ugly on an ape. But if you are an oil or coal company damaging the environment, that's ok, you get a special pass.

In the meantime. Polar bears have lost 40% body weight on average compared to 20 years ago, and mortality amoung cubs is running 80% according to Canadian government studies of bears in northern Hudson Bay areas. And there is a 50-50 chance that the North Pole will completely melt off this summer according to the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Agency,

How much MORE evidence do we need?

Why do we have to get a court order to FORCE the Secretary of the Interior to do the job that the law says he is in charge of?

Cell phones, Microwaves? I think so.

this is so scary our animals or disappearing before our eyes we need to make a serious change

this is a sign of the apocalyse

Wow - not a good omen. This is the part of the story Hitchcock left out of the movie. News of the deaths will spread, and suddenly the birds will just start attacking us, landing threateningly on the jungle gym. Get your shit together, they will glower at us. Do it!

From this story you would think this was a major story but in reality it is not. Perth's my hometown and I heard this on the news for the first time last night and they spoke about it for all of 10 seconds.

And so it begins.

I would assume that any connection to avian flu has been ruled out...hopefully.That would really be scary for us all.

If you can't understand a simple CBS report then something is wrong with you.
I would seek medical help you wouldn't wanna get "dumber"

Shit! It's "The Happening"

Our world with 4 Billion Humans is coming! Hope you all make it.....I hope then we can get along ....In the mean time, life is a theoretical contemplation for those not calling the shots and extremely difficult for those who are...

wow i think i got dumber watching that CBS post...The dead birds are what some people call a sign of greater things to happen. It's time everyone starts rethinking their lives.

They got knocked the F*CK out!

Birds freak me out in general, but a dead bird falling from the sky.... yikes~!

sounds like something out of a stephen King Movie.. scares me.

Lets hope its not an outbreak of bird flu.

H2N5 ... you sank my battleship!

Anyone read Stephen King's "The Stand"? Ha ha.

I don't know what would be a more disturbing throught:

If this is the result of a some bad genetically modified food that had a "unanticipated reaction" in the animal world or perhaps some experimental DDT-like weed-killer that, oops, accidentally created a massive chain reaction amongst the bird population...

Or if it's just the early stages of a naturally occuring pandemic unfolding in real time?

Either way it's....uh....not encouraging.

Relax Dut!

Sure there is a mysterious and as of yet unexplained spike in autism rates and cancer rates and birth defects around the globe -- but you can't die from that.

Of course if whatever is killing these animals mutates and becomes an Ebola-like super virus that can be transferred from animals to humans....then, yeah, large chucks of humanity will die off.

But there's only a 50 percent chance that such an event will ever happen in our lifetimes.

Or, as Bush likes to think of things, there is a 50 percent chance it'll never happen so why worry about it (or allocate more government resources to research or prepare for it)?

this IS just like the beginning of something disastrous.

woah.. how long before humans drop dead?

It's Walt from LOST.

Soon it will be proven that fast food is really poisonious......

Damn...it sucks that these birds are dying...we need to find out what's happeing in Australia so we can make sure and prevent a similar thing from happening anywhere else...all creatures are important...but animals have that sixth sense...like when a storm is coming, all the animals have already made their move and are posted in safe places...we need to ensure their survival and safety...after all, their lives are in our hands as we control and own most of the planet that is land based...

i was simply gonna respond with "scary", but seeing that a few have beat me to that punch...

They need to get CSI on it.

The con trails or chem trails very fishy .Strange days indeed.

There are many things that are hapening that are disturbing.
There are many things happening over night that are promising and hopeful.
I hope we can turn this all around very soon before we loose too many species to make a difference.

I wonder if it has anything to do with all the radio frequencies all over the place now? (cell phones/satellites etc) Kinda like how whales are all screwed up from Navy sonar?

This is like the beginning of a disaster movie. Who knew how accurate those beginnings actually were...well hopefully we won't really find that out.

Very Scary.

That is bizarre.........And scary..Seagulls can eat just about anything can't they? Hope they find the cause soon.
