Mystery of falling dead birds and masses of dead fish
WhiteBear:
Let's see if the drumfish in Arkansas are next :/ ... again...
Oh...and fireworks were banned there this year, yet the birds still died. Anniversary syndrome? ;)
Yozilla:
And after that fantastic fireworks in Sidney - and no dead bird or fish ... neither rabbits?

--- Quote ---Mass death of birds discovered in east China Hebei
All were magpies were separated at a distance, many of the trees hung alone or in groups of two or three
More than 100 dead birds, all magpies were found in plantations near Lake Hengshui in Hebei Province in eastern China. The bodies were hanging from trees.
The cause of death is unknown...await the outcome of investigations.
According to the publication "Yachzho dushibao" dead magpie found everywhere along 200 meters. The bodies of the birds were separated by a distance although in some places two or three together.
His eyes are open, legs spread open and without injury to the body. The local zoologist suggested that the cause of death of birds could be food poisoning which stressed the neighbors do not use dead birds for cooking their food to prevent food poisoning.

Just thought I would share something I heard on a BBC documentary about the bird deaths a couple of days ago, a quote which both amused and angered me:
'And, believe it or not, these mass deaths have even got some of the TOP SCIENTISTS baffled' - says a lot

One of the more arresting reports of late. Perhaps contaminated waters spreading out from the Gulf of Mexico oil disaster area and into the Bahamas Islands region, caused this mass die off?
--- Quote ---Hundreds of Dead Fish Drift to Montagu Shoreline
January 11, 2012Hundreds of dead fish and other marine life washed up at Montagu Foreshore yesterday, baffling fishermen and environmental officials alike. The young fish littered the shoreline. There were varying species, including snappers, barracudas, minnows, needlefish, puffer fish and even an octopus.
Spokesperson for the Montagu Vendors Association Sherlin Brown said he just wanted to know what was going on.
"I've never seen this before," Brown said. "It isn't normal for you to pick up dead fish all along the bay here.
"We know we had other situations with the water. We have customers coming here, people using the water... so we need to know what [is] causing the fish to die and if it's a danger to the humans because a lot of fish are dying."
Brown said while vendors do not fish near Montagu Beach, if the situation persists it would create a serious problem for them. While a number of fish swam to or washed up onshore, Brown said the seabed was also littered with dead fish.
"Some of them (fish) came to the shore disoriented and we tried to put them back in [the water but] they just ended up dying," he said.
Captain Cyril Roker, acting controller at the Port Department, said he got a call from a concerned citizen to investigate the situation. He said his department would alert the relevant authorities to conduct a proper assesment of the event.
A representative from the Ministry of Agriculture and Marine Resources was also on the scene but he declined to comment, stating he too was only assessing the situation. Craig Curtis, assistant port controller, said the incident reminded him of an event that happened off the coast of Andros.
"It was alleged that it was associated with sonar testing [which] caused some of the fish to float up," he said.
"For me this poses a grave concern because this is the young marine life that is being affected. So it is going to be interesting to see what the marine biologists will conclude once they are done."
