How sad, hope they find the cause before it happens again. When I lived in Key West there were beautiful colorful finches around - I went outside one
morning and they were laying dead everywhere - maybe 30 or 40 of them. Never found out the cause, it didn't happen again and didn' affect any other
spieces. I have heard of this happening when birds eat rice, it swells in their stomach and they drop from the air. Other than that - a poison of
some type.
