UPDATE: Hundreds and possibly thousands of dead birds have reportedly fallen from the sky in Italy.

UPDATE: Wildlife officials say that even more previously unreported dead birds were found in Kentucky last week.

Millions of dead fish surfaced in Maryland's Chesapeake Bay in the U.S., Tuesday, while similar unexplained mass fish deaths occurred across the world in Brazil and New Zealand. On Wednesday, 50 birds were found dead on a street in Sweden. The news come after recents reports of mysterious massive bird and fish deaths days prior in Arkansas and Louisiana.

The Baltimore Sun reports that an estimated 2 million fish were found dead in the Chesapeake Bay, mostly adult spot with some juvenile croakers in the mix, as well. Maryland Department of the Environment spokesperson Dawn Stoltzfus says "cold-water stress" is believed to be the culprit. She told The Sun that similar large winter fish deaths were documented in 1976 and 1980.

ParanaOnline reports that 100 tons of sardines, croaker and catfish have washed up in Brazilian fishing towns since last Thursday. The cause of the deaths is unknown, with an imbalance in the environment, chemical pollution, or accidental release from a fishing boat all suggested by local officials.

In New Zealand, hundreds of dead snapper fish washed up on Coromandel Peninsula beaches, many found with their eyes missing, The New Zealand Herald reports. A Department of Conservation official allegedly claims the fish were starving due to weather conditions.

While all three events are likely unrelated, they come after recent reports of mysterious dead birds falling from the sky in both Arkansas and Louisiana. Thousands of dead birds were found in Beebe, Arkansas on New Year's Eve, and a few days later, around 500 of the same species were found 300 miles south in Louisiana. A Kentucky woman also reported finding dozens of dead birds scattered around her home. In the days prior to New Year's, nearly 100,000 fish surfaced in an Arkansas river 100 miles west of Beebe. Officials are now saying that fireworks likely caused the Arkansas bird deaths, and power lines may be to blame for the death of the birds in Louisiana.

Some remain skeptical of the explanations. Dan Cristol, a biology professor and co-founder of the Institute for Integrative Bird Behavior Studies at the College of William & Mary, told the AP that he was hesitant to believe fireworks were to blame unless "somebody blew something into the roost, literally blowing the birds into the sky."

Wednesday, officials in Sweden reported the finding of 50 dead birds on a street, suggesting that cold weather or fireworks were the likely culprit.

Bird deaths and fish kills at smaller numbers aren't all that uncommon, though the size and proximity of some of the recent events have led people to allege their relation, though officials deny the frequency of these wildlife deaths as being anything other than coincidence.

In August of 2010, tens of thousands of dead fish were reported washing ashore in two separate occasions, 200 miles apart on the East Coast.

Scary!


It's all those Toyota Prius's on the road.

More 2012 madness.

Yes it looks bad, but when you ad anthing up, it looks bad.

I don't want it to happen to birds.

Has anyone here actually been witness to any of this type of thing? We had a lot of dead squirrels wash up on the beach.
I often see hundreds of birds lined up on highwires and wonder , now, if I might just catch them dropping dead all at once.
Has anyone ever wondered why the birds will only line up on the top wire and never the second wire down? My thought is that it's so that the birdies avoid getting shit on from the birds above.
Sorry, just rambling....................

Dude, I don't know if you get the station TruTV, but if you do, you should watch the show "Hardcore Pawn". It's about a pawn shop on 8 mile in Detroit.

You should see some of the gems that come strolling into that place looking for cash. You'll love it.

Great show! The owner looks like a used car salesman. Les, maybe? Cool show. His son seems like a good guy, but his daughter is a hellish bitch!

That is a danger. I can remember when he was such a nice guy when we posted at BT. SJ came here and has tried since to be a wannabe like our resident comic. He does not realize that Dean has "Kinison Syndrome" and has an excuse and anyway, the guys here egg Dean on so that they can rub out a woody to his routine.
SJ just comes off, excuse the pun, as a prick.

You're extremely inaccurate. I was kicked off of Back Talk and had legendary behind the scenes e-mail wars with a few of their moderators. So I'm not sure what the fuck you're talking about.

What WAS your Back Talk user name? Mine's been the same ever since then but I don't recall what yours might have been.

Dude! I am addicted to this show. I laugh my ass off at that God forsaken city. I just feel sorry for the Tigers and Wings. Why would any athlete ever want to go to Detroit? We should send all our prisoners there, and just dump in the city limits.

I know my longtime user name was Deen Machine, and I may have used Saint John briefly before they banned my IP, but I'm pretty sure that Saint John birthed right here on MR.

I think you may have used SJ on BT. Seems I remember a thread where someone asked if you were John Kalodner.

I definitely don't remember that!

Thousands of red wing blackbirds crashed to their deaths in Beebe Arkansas. It was said to have been "fireworks" on New Years Eve that spooked the little chickadees. Thousands of drum fish also went belly up on the same night, disease they say. Just to add to the paranoid thread thank you.

I'm surprised nobody recognizes these for the biblical plagues they obviously are, especially with the end of the world coming May 21st, 2011!

LOL! Good one! What is amazing to me is Millen is now an analyst during games. What the fuck does he know that anyone would possibly believe?
