So...after seeing these birds for days now in their exact locations, I went over there to see if animal control was on the scene. Most of the birds are gone. Apparently someone else noticed them and decided to pick them up. Maybe I should have done the same thing, but in any event, only two remain in the initial location. haha. Animal Control guy is gonna be mad that he got called over there for two baby birds. Oh well.
And I am still convinced there is something to this...

I went ahead and called a veterinarian clinic to see what they thought should be done and they directed me to the local animal control officers. So I called them and there is apparently only one on duty today. I'll just have to see if I can catch him when he comes to pick them up so I can get some follow-up on the issue.

that's what I was just asking my husband... would it make sense that it was the radiation killing the babies, this also being the reason that other animals and insects are staying away from the bodies.
we were just talking about the fact that we're not seeing near the number of deer we normally do. I've been driving the same highway almost daily for over 3 years and don't see even 1/10 the deer I used to. the same goes for coyotes and foxes; in particular, I haven't seen a single fox in ages. going to watch and see if there are so many gophers around now that it's warmed up.

And what more is a person to do? If the local vet directs you to the animal control department and they are just gonna dispose of them there isn't much more you can do. I guess a person could pay to send them off to be tested, but I'm pretty sure that would cost more money than I have at my disposal. Of course if you would like to pay for the birds to be tested I could mail you some dead birds. Other than that there isn't much more to be done.
Your attitude kinda sucks, by the way.

I get that you think that. I think it's unfortunate that you think someone challenging you to SEEK TRUTH 'kinda sucks', but' that's up to you.....
....In the time you've spent posting here you could have actually come up with some answers. Oh well. You got flags and stars instead!
Here is a link to one of the news articles about the worms Earthworm Plague

I saw somewhere today (maybe here or USA Today, I'll look if some else doesn't find it) something about an earthworm plague somewhere in the midwest or northeast center.....

your saying nobody wants anything to do with them yet they are decomposing, aka something is eating them.
Are you serious?
or just playing stupid?
Little newsflash for you...
Just because something decomposes does not mean it's being eaten by another animal.
wtf kinda thinking is that?
Anything organic will decompose.. no need for any other creature to come along and eat from it.
doh! Dont be a tard.
One can differentiate abiotic and biotic decomposition or biodegradation. The former one means "degradation of a substance by chemical or physical processes, eg hydrolysis)[1]. The latter one means "the metabolic breakdown of materials into simpler components by living organisms"[2], typically by microorganisms.

Listen bud, I never once said I am going to make sure this thing was "solved"...I was merely reporting a story that I believe to have uncovered local to me. I did exactly as an above poster stated. I alerted the local authorities and documented it on ATS.
You know, it must suck to be bitter all the time. Dying bitter would be the worst way to go out, I think.

Someone should really take some of these dead birds for testing and not to the CDC, I don't trust our government. For all we know, they may be experimenting with a new virus or something.
