On Wednesday, GeaPress reported hundreds -- possibly thousands -- of dead and dying birds in Italy. Countless turtle doves were found scattered in the streets, in flower beds and hanging tragically from trees "like Christmas balls" in the town of Faenza. Many of the birds that fell dead from the sky were discovered with a mysterious blue stain in their beaks.
In the past week, similar incidents of mass animal deaths have been reported across the world. Thousands of dead birds fell from the sky in Arkansas on New Year's Eve, and similar incidents were reported on different days in Louisiana, Kentucky and Sweden. Two million fish were discovered dead in Maryland, with other fish kills also reported in Brazil, New Zealand and Arkansas -- approximately 100 miles from the bird incident. 40,000 crabs washed up on England beaches in the past few days, as well.

So this link says they have blue streaks in their beaks which may be indicative of hypoxia...
What is a symptom? Confusion....

I really want to know why the media are reporting this now... this stuff happens every year and is common, but they just now are deciding to report on it, and the people who know nothing think it's rare and get scared. They think it is happening more just because the media is reporting it more...edit on 6-1-2011 by gift0fpr0phecy because: (no reason given)

Why is this only being reported/taking place in populated areas?
Why is no one seeing the birds fall?
Why is this only happening at night?
Why is it always only one species?
Why are the birds always dead or dying before hitting the ground?
Why are there always blood clots or hemorraged organs/lungs or now, hypoxia?
Why?
Because the birds are being poisoned in captivity and then spread around by humans. Whether being dumped from an airplane or scattered by hand, this is a man-made incident.
My theory is a coming bird flu pandemic or something like it. It is either to push vaccine sales or something more nefarious.
