Those unamitagated morons are blaming fireworks again. Gee, I guess Arkansas is the only state in the nation that uses fireworks on New Years. Makes as much sense as the obamanation.

Perhaps the birds were not informed that the authorities have put a ban on the fireworks. So the birds dropped dead in fear and anticipation of the oncoming fireworks.

It seems our state and federal experts, being appointees from local nut farms, have, in a grand manor, blamed the deaths of Arkansas blackbirds on fireworks. No other states have reported this mass blackbird slaughter. So am I to assume that no other states have or use fireworks or is it that no other states have blackbirds? Bet its a conspiracy by those danged bigotted white birds. When it comes to morons and half wits noone can top our government officials.

Yep. Those pesky fireworks. They just keep showing up, and "killing" the poor little birds by frightening them so much they leap off a wire, and fall straight down to the ground!
Uh, birds FLY! I've seen startled birds before, and so has everyone else. When startled, they DON'T fall! They jump & fly up and out!
Those birds, here, were the filthy, filthy ones, and all black. Nope. Not in my yard - yet.
Rajesh! By jove, I think you've got it!!!! That's exactly what happened. They killed themselves before the fireworks!
I am still going to state that I believe that around the world, certain areas of the magnetic field are losing strength. We also know that there is a definite Polar Shift happening.
The Earth is not a constant. It is a living entity in that it changes on a constant basis. Like a human or animal, it can change in an instant.
Beebe, AR, is just a bit southeast of the Earthquakes we've been experiencing over the last several years. A pole reversal weakens the magnetic field which is actually generated by our Earth's Core.
So, would birds be confused if the Core were slowing down?
If the Earth is suffering from a breach in the field, then birds would be confused. When it happens en masse, and at the same time more than once, it is NOT a coincidence. And, it's certainly NOT fireworks!
"The Goethe-Universitat study revealed that if birds could not see the magnetic field when migrating, they lost their "bearings" and could hurt themselves or even die. NASA reported in 2008 that there was a "massive breach" in the Earth's magnetic field, detected by THEMIS spacecraft. Solar wind can flow through this breach, causing enormous geomagnetic storms. It is very possible that such a geomagnetic storm is responsible for the current deaths of thousands of birds across the planet."
Animals also know when an Earthquake is imminent, or anything else happens to the Earth. Man is the last to know.
My idea is that if we are undergoing a reversal, at certain times of the year, in certain places, the field collapses. Birds would lose their ability to see the magnetic field, become confused, and easily think down is up.

Every year I watch the geese fly over my house. I know how many have flown over in the past years, and the gathering formation they make. I even know the exact noises and sounds they make.
This year was definitely different. The V formations were much smaller, and they make fearful sqawking noises, with a higher pitch! I saw lots of stray ones as well. When the weather dropped drastically cold they were in a frightful frenzy.

Still, if you are right, Smiley, Why is it only happening in Arkansas? Surely Arkansas does not have total pocession of the earth's magnetic field.

Well, let's see. If the pattern follows, somewhere in the next couple of weeks, birds will drop in some of the same places as last year like Louisiana & Sweden.
It's almost as if a "new" plate is being formed. The most frightening thing ever, was this whirlpool. A rupture in the Earth's crust this size cannot be a good thing.
When major eruptions happen, there is a disruption in the Earth's Magnetic Field. According to what I read, there is a disruption in the magnetic field prior to volcanoes. We know this, because they find evidence of this IN the volcanic rock. So, we have birds drop out of the Sky on NY eve, and a volcano erupting not long after. Nothing new with that.
According to this, birds can actually SEE the magnetic field.
And, another assessment is that we are having a major polar shift. Scientists say it could be slow, but could also flip without warning.
Maybe this time of the year is when it undergoes the most flipping at one time. The birds, startled by the fireworks, cannot see the field, because it has been disrupted, and instead of up, they fly down. Their perception of up and down is radically altered.
Now, THIS seems like a logical answer to a flip.

I have seen that cockroaches have either a sixth sense or they have zero or negative reaction time. They use this facility effectively for their rapid survival.
Similarly some birds can have some sixth sense, which gets affected easily in a negative manner by the subtle and finest changes in the local magnetic fields. So much so that they feel that their 2012 is imminent. To avoid it they nose dive from the sky in harakiri and kamikaze mode.
Obviously the instinct of survival among the birds may not be as much strong as that of cockroaches.

Another clue is that if you are not usually a person who has extremely short dizzy spells, and you are experiencing these now, it could be the very same phenomenon.
Every so often, esp over the last 2 years, I suffer sudden dizzy spells which are gone as fast as they began. Thought it was my allergies, but now, I'm not so sure.

Should we sing "Four and twenty blackbirds baked in a pie"? Too bad blackbirds are so useless. But better them than robins, bluebirds, or cardinals. OR maybe there are only Blackbirds in Arkansas? Danged fireworks are really selective too.Which government agency called the kill-off caused by fireworks? We need to know who to point at and laugh at when we see their representives on the street.

Mostly the small spells of dizziness or vertigo without any other apparent causes is due to imbalance of calcium carbonate crystals within Utricle [ear].

That might be true, Rajesh, but not in my case.
My dizziness is the norm for me. I do have allergies which do cause it sometimes, but not excessive dizziness. My ears are fine, so no prob there.
Never even had an ear infection.
But, I find it odd that the same time the birds crashed to the ground, that is when I had the excessive dizziness - like I was trying to right myself against a force. My dog, Lassie, had the same problem after the Earthquake in indonesia in 2004. She & I both went on a walk that morning after the quake, and she couldn't walk a straight line for about 5 minutes. I was just as woozy dizzy as she was for the same length of time. There was not one nature sound anywhere. No birds, no dogs, no chickens (we have some of those around) nor any bug at all. It wasn't overly cold even though that time of year it should have been. It was as silent as the grave. I never knew what the meant until that morning.
The exact same time Lassie's dizziness left, mine left, and I heard the nature sounds of bugs, birds, dogs, etc. Now this was all simultaneous. This meant, to me, that the Earth underwent some type of massive wobble or change.
Now, we find out that the poles are reversing. This could also indicate odd things happening.
Now, Brig, why in Arkansas? Well, Louisiana, and other places around the world also have this phenomenon. It's the timing that is very important. I don't believe in coincidence at all. There IS something happening. And, I'm willing to bet that the pole reversal is part of the answer.

Pole reversal might, or might not, be deadly to birds; but only when it actually occured. You must also wonder why only blackbirds are affected. I seriously doubt that a pole reversal would cause wholesale slaughter of any bird population unless it misdirected the migrating birds over an expanse of ocean where no resting place was available. This could not be the case in Arkansas. Whatever is causing this die-off is picking on a specific kind of bird. This adds to the mystery. Only occuring on a near specific date also rises questions. However two such die-offs in a row could be coincidental. Three should really raise questions. I still think these birds are encountering some sort of toxin; from either a corporate or military installation. As to why only blackbirds? In this area blackbirds (at least two types, crows and starlings) will flock together in huge groups close to Interstate crossroads where trees and heavy lighting are used. To find out what is killing the Arkansas blackbirds you need to find out where they are flocking. Fireworks just don't cut it.

Well, we know it is happening right now according to USGS.
It's red wings that they are showing on the TV. Those are not the same black birds from last year.
Brig...I don't believe in coincidences. There just isn't a toxin over Beebe, AR.
Fireworks is the only thing they can come up with, and that's just nutty.
I can tell you this, though. For the last 15 years, at least, we have been on those blackbirds' flight pattern. Now, that I think of it, I haven't seen them in the last couple of years, and believe me, if you've seen this en masse flight, you don't forget it easily. So, this is also an unusual mystery as well, and just happen to coincide with the die off. WHY did they eliminate their flight path over us?
These birds light on everything they can find. They are noisy, nasty, and downright a nuisance. They have been missing over us for the last 2 years. What gets me is that I could stand and watch thousands of them fly over for 15 minutes from start to finish.
So, again...it's a mystery as to WHY they stopped flying over us. Coupled with the excessive heat of last summer, something is going on, here. It's natural, whatever it is. But, whatever it is, there is definitely something going on.

Smiley`s right, fireworks would just startle the birds and make them fly off, not straight down to commit suicide.

Doc, only morons in government think fireworks are to blame. Red wing blackbirds are common here too. They also tend to flock with the crows and starlings here but they make up only a minority of these flocks. Yet the fact is; they do tend to flock together. Whatever occurs seems to effect the entire flock. But not other common birds such as robins, wrens, sparrows, bluebirds, cardinals, cedar wax wings, blue jays Etc. I cannot see a faultering of the magnetic poles only affecting birds that are primarily black and why only in Arkansas? From what I have read; the birds have never been tested for a toxin because the state has no idea what sort of toxin could be involved. You might need to see what these birds eat and whether or not they could be getting into some sort of insectacide or other poisons. But you would still figure there are other birds that would overlap the blackbirds diet.

The ones who are yelling poisoned are the environmentalists.
That would be a problem, Brig, because birds eat everywhere on their route. If they got a hold of a toxin, they could have done it earlier in the day, or even several days earlier depending on the toxin. Some are extremely slow in reaction.
The most curious thing of all is not so much that they committed mass suicide, but the DATE on which this is happening - or more importantly, the day of the year.
Or, it could be another sign of the end of days, too. Remember that Jesus told us that strange things would be happening in the sky. Well, we have the birds, the Solar flares, and the comet veering too close to the sun, and we saw its death.
There are tons of things going on right now. I'm watching for the comet that is supposed to hit us, and poison one third of our water.
