Which of course Fireworks do not cause. If they did they would be banned altogether.

I agree with you, that the article if FULL of BS.

So far they have said that the birds in Arkansas died from some sort of internal trauma and that no external forces were at work. No disease or poison. This is getting weirder and weirder.

Then I read this, 40,000 'devil' crabs washed up in England yesterday:

This got me to thinking that maybe this is all climate / global warming related. But I suspect we will never know.

In the days before a fireworks display birds are flushed out, so that during the display there are no large roosts nearby. The Ark. event was 10-12 commercial grade fireworks set off in a residential neighborhood with a large roost nearby. My guess is the individuals who set them off were not as thorough in prepping the area as most large scale events are. Also most commercial displays are over water or large open areas. Imagine being in a residential neighborhood with soundwaves from the explosions hitting you from 20 different directions at the same time, and your night blind.

And this.
Birds and Fishes, 2012 is knocking on the door.
Just in time for the next snowfall...

The animals lost their sense of direction do to an isolated polar shift and crashed into things killing themselves maybe?
Might change my plans on when I will watch the movie.

I'm sure we'll get the answer from Jesse Ventura.

Honestly though, this whole Fireworks thing is just an excuse and I have never heard of fireworks killing off swarms of birds, its unheard of. Something else happened and it wasn't fireworks. Especially since this occurred in at least 3 other regions, where NO fireworks were present. So it wasn't the fireworks. No way in hell.

Maybe the new Chinese spy planes were doing some test runs, resulting in sonic booms? The real question is could a Sonic Boom kill Fish as well, which would be impossible for Fireworks to do of course.

So the plot thickens ...

Dead birds in Sweden killed by 'external blows'

http://www.cnn.com/2011/WORLD/europe/01/05/sweden.bird.deaths/index.html?npt=NP1

So it looks like its been confirmed in Sweden that the birds were killed by "sudden, hard external blows,", and had nothing to with Fireworks.

I am leaning on a Sonic Boom. Anyone else have any guesses? I thought about Hail, but there were no weather conditions in any of the areas affected.

Does that mean you subscribe to the cataclysmic pole shift hypothesis?

I agree. Some of the official explanations are ridiculous.

"Sudden hard external blows"? Kinda like what would happen when they impact the ground?
