Maybe it's like cow mutilations. Aliens mutilate the cows and than drop them back to earth? Maybe they were experimenting with these birds and no
longer found any use for them and just dropped them back to earth?
Seriously though, maybe their was a secret radio wave experiment conducted by the government and an unexpected reaction caused these birds to become
disoriented and they fell to their deaths?
Maybe HAARP was behind this?
Who knows what our government does or what kind of secrets it keeps from us. We just see the remnants of their experiments.
Maybe they were testing something that would eventually be used on us to reduce world population?
