Are We the Bird Brains?
On new Years Day in Beebe, Arkansas, residents awoke to find thousands of Red Wing Blackbirds dead on their streets.
What could have caused these deaths?
On the morning of Wednesday January 5, 2011 in Folkoeping near Stockholm in Sweden, residents awoke to find Jackdaws dead on their streets.
What could have caused these deaths?
Well, according to Karen Rowe of the Arkansas Game and Fishing Commission, there is no mystery in Beebe. The birds in Beebe were woken at midnight by fireworks, being frightened and in the dark; they simply flew straight into the ground at 25 mph.
That is the official report.
A local Veterinarian in Folkoeping says that the deaths there could either be from fireworks or from the cold.
Now, to my knowledge, both birds and fireworks have been around for hundreds of years.
If these species of bird were prone to committing suicide, I think their predators would have picked up on that before now and already have made them extinct.
Sweden is always very cold in the winter. I was surprised that a veterinarian didn’t know that birds that cannot take the cold flew south in the winter.
Obviously the people making these reports think that these birds were not very bright. However, if they think that we will believe these reports, then they obviously consider us to be the real bird brains.
OK, these may be freak accidents and just a coincidence that they happened just after one another.
What concerns me is why they so quickly came up with these reports. Why do they want us to stop speculating or asking for explanations? What is it that they know and don’t want us to know?
