What Has Zippyt Done Now? It's Raining Birds in Ark.

EEBE, Ark.-- Friday night, ringing in the New Year took on a whole different meaning for the citizens of Beebe. Around 11:30 p.m., enforcement officers with Arkansas Game and Fish Commission began getting reports of dead black birds falling from the sky in the city limits of Beebe.

Officers estimated that over 1,000 birds had fallen out of the sky over the city before midnight. Most of the birds were dead, but some were still alive when officers arrived. The blackbirds fell over a one-mile area in the city. AGFC wildlife officer Robby King responded to the reports and found hundreds of birds. "Shortly after I arrived there were still birds falling from the sky," King said. King collected about 65 dead birds that will be sent to the Arkansas Livestock and Poultry Commission lab and the National Wildlife Health Center lab in Madison, Wis.

The AGFC has flown over the area to gauge the scope of the event. There were no other birds found outside of the initial area.

AGFC ornithologist Karen Rowe said that strange events similar to this one have occurred a number of times across the globe. "Test results usually were inconclusive, but the birds showed physical trauma and that the flock could have been hit by lightning or high-altitude hail," Rowe said.

Another scenario may have been that New Year's Eve revelers shooting off fireworks in the area may have startled the birds from their roost. The birds may have died from stress.

Rowe said that it didn't appear as though the birds died of any poisoning or other event. "Since it only involved a flock of blackbirds and only involved them falling out of the sky it is unlikely they were poisoned, but a necropsy is the only way to determine if the birds died from trauma or toxin," she said. Testing will begin on Monday.

The City of Beebe has hired U.S. Environmental Services to begin the cleanup and dispose of the dead birds. The environmental firm will go door-to-door to pick up the birds that are still in yards and on roof tops.

was this near the tornado that hit Cincinatti AK?

TheMercenary · 01-02-2011, 07:30 PM

Wonder if they hit a down draft or a major temp change, hail, or just a lightning strike in the sky?

Or maybe Zippy is playing with laser bird killing to perfect his Dove count.

I heard there were over 5,000 dead birds witrh trauma to their organs. Now there's a big fish kill only affecting drum. Weird. I think Zik was messing around with his plasma gun again. He just can't handle his znoyg without getting into trouble.

That's why I wear my tin foil had. I don't want my internal organs traumatized

Big Sarge · 01-04-2011, 01:21 PM

There reports of dead birds in La & Ky. Gravdigr - have you been playing with zippyt's plasma gun???

Shawnee123 · 01-04-2011, 01:25 PM

Have you been playing with zippy's plasma gun, or is he just happy to see you?

ba DUM dum!

Shawnee123 · 01-04-2011, 01:38 PM

And by the way: bullshit to the "fireworks" speculation. Because, like, we've been setting off fireworks for hundreds of years, but there have never been reports of two states experiencing thousands of birds plunging to their death. But ALL OF A SUDDEN...

Or it could have been hail. We've rarely had high-atmosphere hail, or lightning. Birds fall to death in droves way more often than we have lightning or fireworks.

I mean, seriously, when is the last time you saw any birds on either New Year's Eve or Independence Day? They usually stay out of the way, right? They must sit at home grumbling about being stuck inside due to human revelry.

I smell cover-up.
