In recent years, cases of falling dead birds from the sky. According to the most pessimistic version of this is due to the approach of the Apocalypse, which some scientists believe will happen soon. The reasons for these phenomena are unusual but not apocalyptic, experts say. What can kill a bird in flight?
Storms, hail or lightning among the possible causes that lead to the death of birds and fall. Experts explain that a tornado could easily suck frogs and small birds, which then fall to earth with rain. There were cases when the storm sucked the little creatures that caused the loss of small fish near the beach in Australia in 2010 and frogs in Serbia in 2005.
The reasons for these phenomena are not only natural but also done by humans. For example, fireworks, high-voltage cable or armored, can cause the death of flying creatures.
Modern threats such as pollution and climate change can lead to increased stress among wild creatures. A few months ago, the Swedish authorities were investigating the deaths of about 100 seagulls that fell in the city of Falkoping.
"They did an autopsy of 5 of them and found internal bleeding but no external damage was found," said Marianne Elvander from the National Veterinary Institute in Sweden. She stressed that extinction could cause by disease, such as avian flu.
In Beebe, Arkansas, local fireworks during the celebration, caused consternation among the birds that flew and hit indiscriminately on houses and trees. Blackbirds fly in large numbers and have poor night vision.
Many birds die in the winter, when there is no food. In religious Americans have black predictions that falling birds portend the apocalypse.
