Why are dead birds falling from the sky?

Why are dead birds falling from the sky?

Today I saw news messages coming by on Facebook about Macedonia and that there where birds were falling dead out of the sky. It took my attention because a few weeks before, I saw the same article about birds landing out of the air in Wales, and an article about the same subject in Germany. 

I thought I would do some research on the word on Google: dead birds falling from the sky*2020

Google gave me more than 19 pages which I studied and placed the articles in a chronological time scale to find similarities and have in-depth knowledge about the subject and possible spot interesting subjects or conclusions.

One of the findings that I have is that this aspect that the birds are falling out of the sky is taken place in the region of; Wales, Spain, Macedonia, Italy, Greece, Germany, and Austria in mostly in the winter period and spring period. Some birds in Wales came from Lithuania; this was traceable because they had a ring.

What causes birds to drop dead?

One other very interesting subject was a video where a girl stated in the news that ;

One moment they were in the tree, and then they all fell out of the tree, all exact at the same time. 

This statement is appealing for more research, so I researched more in-depth into the subject, 

In  Wales, at the end of December 2019, birds were falling out of the sky on the road.

Why are there dead birds everywhere?

A few weeks later, the WHO stated that highly pathogenic H5 avian influenza viruses caused 24 outbreaks in domestic poultry in six countries between December 30, 2019, and January 18, 2020.

Poland, Hungary, Slovakia, Romania, and the Czech Republic identified highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) subtype A(H5N8) and Ukraine HPAI H5 with the N-type not reported. \

Poland and Germany also detected HPAI A(H5N8) in wild birds.

Also, on the Fiji Islands, birds are falling out of the sky to begin April.  It is essential to examen the causal cause of these events; a simple answer that the birds hit the road or a truck is in my vision to close for comfort.

So, for now, it is interesting to keep a clear vision and be open to doing good research.

What killed the starlings?

Therefore it is also essential for a government if they gave out permits for test-experimenting say for a year in a specific region, for example, to test and roll out 5G in areas that they also keep a log of there own. Especially about the emissions and frequencies that are used and emitted in a specific date and time in the area for evidence-based research if there are any environmental side effects. When situations occur, it can be interesting for more in-depth study then solely trust on industrials who are not independent. It can later then traced back to the logbooks for scientific research if situations occur.

For now, we can see that this phenomenon happens many years in specific regions where birds are falling out of the sky. All this is happening across the world.

Even ornithologists can sometimes be puzzled and thinking about what is going on. Therefore, it can be useful to make maybe a program and combine all this information in the world and put it in an Artificial Intelligence program. We never know what a computer can find out what possible connection is in this phenomenon.  My vision of this puzzling situation is that it is spreading across the world, but not all the data is being collected worldwide and placed in a public open system.

Is, is the time of the year that there is plenty of food, thus plenty of mice with a kind of virus what has influence? Or is the region in combination with much rain or new infrastructure in a city or even the fireworks on January 1 that made the birds anxious.

It is an important subject, especially in the days that we can see that the smallest organism, a virus, can make catastrophic differences.  For that reason, I’m interested in the autopsy reports where the histopathology of the tissue is being microscopically examined to study deeper in the manifestations of the disease and/or incidents. 

If you have any articles related to this subject, please send them to me. It is appreciated so I can share them. At the same time, I’m doing research for the autopsy reports and will publish them online. 

I will try to save the articles in Archive Today, cause somethings the links are changed or deleted.

Especially in the states of Rhineland-Palatinate and Thuringia, dead tits have been found, now more than 150. The birds that are sick show apathetic behavior, and their feathers, eyelids, and beaks are sticky.

It is special that reporters indicate that several, up to ten, dead blue tits have been found in a short time.

The diseased birds are mostly observed in the vicinity of feeding points in gardens and stand out because they no longer react to their environment. It was observed that blue tits that died shortly afterward sat apathetically and fluffed up on the ground and made no attempt to escape when approaching people.

Other alleged symptoms of the disease are that the birds appear as if they have breathing problems, parts of the head feathers have failed, the eyes appear stuck together. They no longer take in food or apparently can no longer swallow. Some tits look like they are thirsty to quench.

Does not match known bird diseases
In view of the particular concern of blue tit and the season of occurrence, none of the known circulating bird diseases fits the new phenomenon. The Usutu virus, transmitted by mosquitoes, occurs in summer and mainly affects blackbirds. The West Nile virus, which is now in Germany, is also limited to midsummer. Trichomoniasis also needs summer temperatures and manifests itself primarily in the death of greenfinches. Salmonella poisonings that occur regularly at unkempt feeding places also do not have a specific effect on blue tit and are already widespread nationwide.

The symptoms observed and the blue tits found frequently – up to five dead tits are often reported from a garden – suggest that this is a highly contagious infectious disease.

It is not yet possible to say with a hundred percent certainty whether the Dutch blue tits died of the same bacteria. Marja Kik, the pathologist at the Dutch Wildlife Research Center, conducts research into the sick birds. “We have now been able to examine seven blue tits. Microscopically we have been able to determine that the birds had pneumonia with bacteria, which makes it plausible that a bacterium is a cause.”

 

Vigilance of the public and close collaboration between the public health, veterinary and environmental authorities is important in the coming weeks to ensure rapid detection of avian influenza viruses in birds and to protect human health.         Source WHO

  1. I am intrigued by this as well and enjoyed looking at the information you have collected.
    A virus would seem to kill out a flick slowly – not all at once. The recent video footage going around about the 1000s of birds in Mexico dropping from the sky (February 2022) The news media explaining they were possibly diving from the threat of a falcon. These things have happened during the night as well and at the same times across nations. The only thing that makes sense from the collected data is some sort burst of either magnetic or radio wave that would interfere with the birds navigation

  2. Hi , The reply from Katie Keziah brings us to the actual point ot whats happening. Space X the company of Elon Musk has 42000 satelites circling and covering the whole eatrth. This program is developed original for having broadband internet from out of space beamt to the earth. But thats a coverup. Whe dont need that at all. The real purpose is to control a lot off things. For instance , With those satelites they can stop every electrical car in the future from going anywhere. They deside in wich area you can drive or not. Thats just one thing. The connecting whit the birds is as following. The satelites ar able to send for example 60 hz to a specific place[coórdinate] every where in the world. What you see is try outs of this. They beam this from outer space. Collect the data and look how effective it was and learning from that. Those satelites are very import wapens in the future and will be used against people.
