Another slew of birds have fallen from the sky this past week, this time in Alabama. 300 grackles, the same species of bird that has been found dead in Arkansas, Louisiana and Kentucky, were found lining the side of the I-65 highway in Alabama.
Initial investigations suggest that this particular group of birds died from trauma, possibly by having a collision with a large truck. Samples are being sent out to determine the official cause of death.
However, this is not the first mass bird loss the world has experienced recently. Thousands of birds have dropped from the sky in Arkansas, turtledoves have been found scattered across the grounds of Italy, and Romania and Sweden have been experiencing their own bird loss as well.

300 birds can indeed hit several trucks if they lost their orientation.... by whatever reason....
This is event in Alabama is not recent by the way.

Mass fish and bird kill
The viewers who called us said the birds seemed to just fall from the sky, but we spoke to a wildlife biologist at the scene who says there is an explanation for what happened.
"What it appears to us right now is that the birds were feeding alongside the road," said Mitchell Marks. "The flock flushed, flew out into a vehicle and we've got this kill here along the road."
Scaremongering. ------------ Grackles fly in flocks of over 20,000 birds. A couple of hundred dead on a bridge or side of the highway is completely normal. It happens when the flock lands on or near the road and then flys across it when a lorry goes racing through at 70MPH.----------------- Go to Youtube and search for "Blackbird migration Illinois" ----------Picture a flock like that landing on a bridge with 70MPH traffic.-------------- Is it really so surprising that you find a few hundred dead every now and then?--------------------- BTW, this is a complete non-story in the US. It happens every year.
