Something is happening... I'm not going to sit here and claim a doomsday or anything, but there are too many happenings to be cited as a coincidence. In my yard this morning, I noticed a few birds, (small, white bellies, bluish-gray wings - I don't know my birds), hanging upside down from the trees, like bats. There were alive, but I've never noticed behavior like this. I am on the coast of the Carolinas (US), and just thought this was weird.

Its the same here, I went out earlier to help my wife feed her horses and I saw probably 5 birds total and they looked a little 'not right'

If any of you have had similar then please do post up. I know there are a lot of threads going here at the moment about birds and fish but post anything local to you or unusual behaviour in here. Lets see if there's patterns developing.

Anyone seen 'The Happening' ?

I'm not really sure what else to say... Again, I don't know what kind of birds they were, (small, sparrow sized... white bellies with bluish gray feathers on their wings/heads.) There were a few of them (no more than 4), hanging upside down on tree limbs about 20 feet from my back deck. They would hang there for a few seconds, then jump to another branch, where they would immediately flip upside down again, (think of how a bat hangs)... I watched this for about 5 minutes before they jumped down to the ground, then flew off into some pine trees where I couldn't see them.

Mental! My friend said when she was walking to collect her children from school the birds weren't there... yet about 30 minutes later on the way back they were there within feet of each other.

I've not noticed anything here yet but then I work from home in my office from 8am to 5pm and no birds fly in my office! lol... will keep my eyes open now though.

I am on the other side in Essex on the coast.... we get a lot of gulls over our field... hang on.... we did but I haven't seen any teh past few days, I assumed it was because the batty woman out back who feeds them scraps was on holiday... hmmm

Here is a photo/...... white belly and bluegrey top feathers





nuthatch, White-breasted nuthatch (Sitta carolinensis). [Credit: © Steve Byland/Fotolia]any of about 25 species of short-tailed, long-billed birds in the family Sittidae (order Passeriformes), known for their abilities to grip tree bark as they walk up, down, and around trunks and branches and to hang upside down on the underside of tree limbs as they forage for insects and seeds. For their abilities they are sometimes called “upside-down birds.” By exploring in areas ignored by many other birds, such as woodpeckers (which travel up trees but not down), they find insects hidden in bark that other species overlook.
