Quebec bird deaths stump wildlife officials


Quote:
ONTREAL — More than 80 pigeons have keeled over and died at a farm near Quebec City for unknown reasons, the latest in a string of mysterious animal deaths around the world. Environmental officials in the province say there’s no connection to a similar case in Arkansas, but Sylvain Turmel is wondering why he’s been picking up dead pigeons for more than two weeks on his farm in Saint-Augustine-de-Desmaures.
The first dead bird was found on Dec. 18. He’s since found more bodies on his roof and inside the barn.
“I was stunned,” he said.
“I went to see my tenant to ask whether he’d been feeding them poison. He ended helping me pick up 25 corpses. In the time it took us to collect them, five more had fallen. Authorities thought it might be gas. But that’s not possible.”
A spokesperson for the Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries said tests are currently being performed at the animal pathology lab in the provincial capital.
“The cause right now isn’t known,” said Nicolas Begin. “It’s not related to what happened in the U.S. (But) we don’t see this sort of thing every day and we’re treating this as a serious matter.”
About 5,000 birds fell from the sky in Arkansas over the New Year’s weekend. That incident is part of a string of fish and animal deaths seen in the U.S. and Europe, including a case in Maryland where two million fish washed up on the shores of Chesapeake Bay earlier this month, blamed on a rapid drop in temperature.
In Quebec, firefighters and police visited Turmel’s property to check for fumes or criminal activity. Wildlife officials assured him the birds weren’t killed by the avian flu or the West Nile virus, but he’s been wary about touching them without gloves.
He said wildlife officials took seven of the dead birds for analysis and told him not to speak with the media. Still, the feisty landowner called a local radio station to recount the incident.
“There’s something going on,” he said. “This is not normal.”
I like how officials told him not to talk to the media. How many others were told not to say anything I wonder?

I got to admit that something has to be going on. For that many birds and fish to just suddenly in such a short time frame is kinda eerie . What would cause that many animals world wide to just die?

Could this be related to the BP oil spill? I've read that it is still leaking away - spilling out of cracks in the pressurized sea floor. They've dumped massive amounts of their "cover-up" chemical, Corexit (extremely toxic), into the ocean. It breaks up oil slicks, but at the same time, it sends all the oil beneath the surface; to the bottom of the ocean.

I'm sure that some part of this has to do with sea currents carrying the oil and toxic Corexit. Many people in the gulf have seen oil in rainwater.

I wouldn't rule anything out, but I think that any toxins present in these animals would have been found by now and cited as the likely contributor to their deaths. On the other hand, there is almost no scientific data available on Corexit, so the long-term side effects on marine life or humans, if any, are unknown. Let's not firget that Corexit was also used during the Exxon Valdez oil spill, and those that handled this solvent/dispersant experienced health issues, though the quantity used wasn't disclosed and I don't remember if it affected birds and fishes in this manner.

Just when you thought it was over:

CALIFORNIA -Dozens of dead birds found off Highway 101

http://www.montereyherald.com/state/...nclick_check=1

Quote:
GEYSERVILLE (AP) — California wildlife officials are trying to figure out what caused the death of more than 100 birds found clustered together off Highway 101. California Highway Patrol officers found the birds near the roadway Saturday and called in the California Department of Fish and Game to investigate.
The officers who found the birds described them as small with brown and black feathers. They said they were intact and hadn't been shot.
The reports come as other bird deaths have been reported in Arkansas, Louisiana and other states.
Scientists say mass die-offs of wildlife, which happen regularly, are usually unrelated and unreported.

You know, it's definitely a weird event...But honestly, if it wasn't for our media non of us would really know this was happening all over the world. Scientists admit that mass die-offs do happen regularly, but our society is so "end of the world" crazy sometimes that they'll take events and make them all inter connected I'm not saying that it's not weird, but I'm thinking people are blowing it out of proportion a bit...

There is always some simple and unremarkable explanation that's overlooked in human interest piece like this. They love playing the mystery angle, so often times media outlets have little concern for accuracy or validity of such reports. They're human interest items, so they often misconstrue or fail to even verify what really happened in the interest of making a cute story. Usually when a story says something like "scientists baffled" scientists really aren't baffled, it's just that there is either no phenomenon to consider or not enough data on which to draw a conclusion.


A comment posted regarding the California event mentioned above: "An eye-witness SAW the birds fly en-masse into a Big Rig according to Sonoma County authorities." Commercial fireworks set off in a residential neighborhood (celebrating NYE) could very well scare a flock of birds, especially if the flock is huge due to seasonal migration. The two examples show that the deaths have the same cause: not the end of the world, but the fact that animals traveling in flocks or herds are more likely to die in larger groups than those that travel solo. That isn't to say there can't be environmental causes locally, but I don't see any evidence to suggest anything is happening on a global scale.

I thought something like this happened in colorado in early 2000 ( possibly starlings) but diagnose unknown.

There is the revealings aspect of (when birds fall from the sky and fish leap from the water) and so on.

Whether this is a artificial or synthetic event or natural effect to (produce a end times event is unknown) but the process known as harrp or high aurora research project has been noted as to create a effect such as this according to a book written on it and of course late nite (coast to coast) radio.

DJ, those are Starlings. I could go out and shoot 500 European starlings, and I'd be called a hero.

They were different birds, blackbirds, the ones that mysteriously fell.

these are just one of the 3 or 4 bird types i have seen in the news but they could be doing it to all birds.

I am not a conspiracy theorist, but all the explanations I have heard make me believe more and more that no one has a clue what is going on. And if they do they aren't telling us. All their excuses reek of BS. I just hope if they do know something they tell us in time for us to do something. If not there will be hell to pay.
