Hundreds of Birds Mysteriously Fall From Sky Outside Spanish Hospital

The grounds of a hospital in Spain resembled something out of a horror film when hundreds of dead birds mysteriously rained down from the sky. The bizarre incident reportedly occurred at the Juan Cardona Hospital in the city of Ferrol last Friday.

For reasons yet to be determined, approximately 200 starlings suddenly perished in mid-air and plummeted onto the pavement, parked cars, and stunned onlookers.

A mystified witness to the nightmarish scene, some of which can be seen below, indicated that the birds “came out of the trees in the emergency area of the hospital,” briefly took to the sky, and then just as quickly fell to the ground.

An official with the city told a local media outlet that “The birds have been collected and we are now waiting to find out what happened,” but cautioned that “we are told it won’t be easy.”

The mass death follows a similar case that took place in Spain back in February as well as a headline-making incident in Wales from 2019 wherein hundreds of starlings also died under the same mysterious circumstances.

In that instance, it was ultimately determined that the creatures perished while attempting a tricky mid-air evasive maneuver, which may wind up being the explanation for the incident outside the hospital in Ferrol.

    Classic, starling fail.

    Wet road being highly reflective; they just all pile in together thinking it’s the sky. They didn’t ‘fall out of the sky’; this was controlled flight into terrain.

    In all these cases, in Wales & Ferrol in Spain, huge wind turbines are nearby. I read years ago that researchers in the USA found that the wind farm companies deliberately limit their search areas for dead birds and bats to a smaller diameter circle than the several hundred metres the tiny bodies are often flung, after being hit by the turbine blades whirling so fast the birds cannot see them.

    The birds, especially starling flocks, appear to fall out of the sky because people think the wind turbines are too far away to have done it. They are wrong.

      I remember the report from Wales said the starlings were bleeding from “blunt force trauma”.

        Electrical types of energy harm and kill them. The few dead birds I saw just drop dead to the floor were 30 miles from wind turbines.

    I’m not buying it. All those birds laying in the street with their wings neatly folded up. Something isn’t right.

    While the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds are scratching their heads at the alarming decline in starling murmurations, when UK starling numbers are increased by migrating birds from Scandinavia, they never mention the massive offshore wind farms placed directly in the path of starlings migrating from Scandinavia. Wouldn’t want to upset the Green Agenda, would they?
