Canada: Bird deaths remain a mystery
World class scientists are trying to solve the mystery of why birds are continuing to die at Wascana Centre.
Another dead bird was found on Thursday and two more were picked up Friday, west of the waterfowl display ponds, said Van Isman, the centre's
executive director.
That brings the death count to about 160 birds since July 2 when the first dead birds were reported to Wascana Centre staff.
Helping Wascana Centre Authority investigate the deaths are the Canadian Wildlife Service and the Canadian Co-operative Wildlife Health Centre in
Saskatoon, which is affiliated with the University of Saskatchewan's College of Veterinary Medicine.
"These people are world class scientists -- it's expertise I didn't know we had in Saskatchewan," Isman said.
The latest toxicology results show the deaths are consistent with poisoning, but it doesn't necessarily mean the birds were intentionally poisoned,
he said.
"There is an enzyme in the brain called cholinesterase. If cholinesterase levels get down to between 50 and 60 per cent of normal levels that is
sufficient for it to be fatal," he said.
The brains of the birds that were studied had levels of approximately five and nine per cent.

As to Global Warming us puny Hu-Mans may be tossing a little into the mix... but its the SUN we need to worry about, because not only is the
magnetosphere of Earth changing, but so is the Sun's and the region of space we are moving into...
Here is a recent solar explosion... fortunately we were not in the direct path... flare #930
The resulting solar tsunami was caught on camera...
Sooo better get out that sun screen yer gonna need it! Maybe the birds flew too close to the Sun like Icarus?
