Large Numbers Of Birds Suddenly Dropping Dead In U.S. States?

As if we didn’t have enough weird things going on, now birds are suddenly dropping dead in large numbers all across the eastern half of the country. Before they die, a lot of these birds are exhibiting very strange symptoms.

Experts are telling us that in many cases birds are developing “crusty or puffy eyes”, and often they appear to go completely blind. In addition, quite a few of these dying birds lose their ability to stay balanced, and we are being told that some even seem to be having “seizures”.

If scientists understood what was causing this to happen, that would be one thing. But at this point they have no idea why this is taking place, and that is quite alarming.

So far, confirmed incidents of this strange phenomenon have been documented in Washington D.C., Virginia, West Virginia, Maryland, Kentucky, Ohio and Indiana.

Could it be possible that we are dealing with a “mystery disease” that started in one state and that has now spread to other surrounding states?

Or is something else going on here?

We are being told that “blue jays, common grackles and European starlings” are the most common birds that are being affected.

But whatever is happening is not just limited to one species of birds, and I think that should be a red flag.

If our best experts even had a decent working theory about why so many birds are dying, I probably would not have written this article.  But at this point they are openly admitting that they have absolutely no idea why so many birds are suddenly dropping dead…

We’re experiencing an unusual amount of bird mortality this year,” said Kate Slankard, an avian biologist with the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources. “We have yet to figure out what the problem is. The condition seems to be pretty deadly.

In Kentucky, the bird deaths seem to have begun in late May.  The following comes directly from the official website of the Kentucky Department of Fish & Wildlife Resources…

In late May, the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources began receiving reports of sick and dying birds with eye swelling and crusty discharge, as well as neurological signs. Wildlife agencies in Indiana, Maryland, Ohio, Virginia, Washington, D.C. and West Virginia have reported similar problems.

State wildlife agencies are working with diagnostic laboratories to investigate the cause of mortality. Kentucky Fish and Wildlife has sent more than 20 samples for lab testing to the Southeastern Cooperative Wildlife Disease Study at the University of Georgia. More results are pending, but no definitive cause of death has been identified at this time.

After testing 20 samples, they still have no idea what is going on.

According to Slankard, “hundreds of birds” in her state have now become victims…

They’ll just sit still, often kind of shaking,” Slankard said. “It’s pretty safe to say that hundreds of birds in the state have had this problem.

But of course the truth is that we have no way of knowing how many birds have actually been affected.

It could be thousands of birds in the state.

It could be hundreds of thousands.

We just don’t know, and Kentucky is just one of the states that has been hit.

In Indiana, authorities tested for avian flu and West Nile virus, but those tests came back negative

Indiana wildlife officials said there have been suspicious deaths of blue jays, robins, northern cardinals and brown-headed cowbirds in five counties. James Brindle, spokesman for the state’s Department of Natural Resources, said birds there have tested negative for avian influenza and West Nile virus.

One theory that is floating around is that these birds are ingesting large amounts of pesticides because of all the cicadas that they are eating.

Some experts are flatly dismissing that theory because “the disease has also appeared in states where cicadas are not present”.

But how can they be so sure that it is a disease if they have absolutely no idea why this is happening?

I don’t think that we should jump to any conclusions that are not backed up by science.

Obviously a lot more testing needs to be done.  If it does turn out to be a disease that is causing this, is it a disease that can also spread to humans?  Moving forward, that could be one of the most important questions that needs to be answered.

Hopefully we can get some solid answers, because this is not the first time something like this has happened.  Back in September, one expert said that it appeared that “hundreds of thousands” of birds were dropping dead in New Mexico…

Wildlife experts in New Mexico say birds in the region are dropping dead in alarming numbers, potentially in the “hundreds of thousands.”

It appears to be an unprecedented and a very large number,” Martha Desmond, a professor at New Mexico State University’s department of fish, wildlife, and conservation ecology, told NBC’s Albuquerque affiliate KOB.

But whatever was causing those deaths to happen in New Mexico seems to have stopped.

s there any connection between that event and the deaths that are happening in the eastern half of the country now?

I wish that I had the answer to that question.

We live at a time when pesticides, high technology and other forms of human activity are having a greater impact on birds and animals than ever before.  But we have also entered an era when I believe that great pestilences are going to become very common.

Obviously something is killing all those birds, and hopefully scientists will have something solid to tell us very soon.

With each passing day, our world is getting crazier, and so much is going wrong all around us.

Many are hoping that 2020 and 2021 will just turn out to be anomalies, but I am entirely convinced that they are just the very small tip of a very large iceberg.

      Quite possible you are correct, if you check where in the US the 5G have been rolled out, it corresponds to the states with the mass death of birds falling from the sky. Not only birds, but also insect life is threatened by the electromagnetic haze of the millimeter waveband of the 5G. When 5G was started up in Australia, bumble bees og bees fell from the sky around the antenna-towers.

      The 5G antenna do not radiate in lobes, so the insect have a chance, it cover almost the entire airspace close to the ground, so bees and birds are flying in a haze they cannot escape. 5G can be regarded as an attack on pollinating insects, the totally corrupt politicans let Big Tech do what they want.

      I am pretty sure 2 years or longer something similar happened in one of the Flemish countries which resulted in banning the technology for the time being.

      Not having been to these areas of notable bird death, and having researched events all over Planet Earth, I come to the first conclusion that the areas of most bird death have relatively recently installed 5G WiFi radiation; towers, modules, etc. 5D = bird, human, plant death. Also, although Al Gore will not admit to it, he supports massive wind turbine towers – which kill thousands of birds. It seems to me that the human race has forgotten how simple life can be and keeps searching for more complicated and dangerous technologies to power its destruction. The answer remains within, with little guidance from ‘outside’ like from ‘J’ in A Course in Miracles.

    Hi PSI Readers,

    The SOCIAL MEDIA termed FORWARDED EMAILS. The SOCIAL MEDIA termed BLOG SITES LIKE PSI.

    So, READ the following to its last LINE. My cousin, a NAVY VETERAN just forwarded this EMAIL to me.

    “11 YR OLD WHO SHOT ILLEGALS thanks FOX NEWS for reporting it.

    A Shotgun-armed Preteen vs. Illegal Alien Home Invaders.

    Two illegal aliens, Ralphel Resindez, 23, and Enrico Garza, 26, probably believed they would easily overpower home-alone 11-year-old Patricia Harrington after her father had left their two-story home.

    It seems these crooks never learned two things:

    They were in Montana.
    Patricia had been a clay-shooting champion since she was nine.

    Patricia was in her upstairs room when the two men broke through the front door of the house. She quickly ran to her father’s room and grabbed his12-gauge Mossberg 500 shotgun.

    Resindez was the first to get up to the second floor, only to be the first to catch a near point blank blast of buckshot from the 11-year-old’s knee-crouch aim. He suffered fatal wounds to his abdomen and genitals.

    When Garza ran to the foot of the stairs, he took a blast to the left shoulder and staggered out into the street where he bled to death before medical help could arrive. It was found out later that Resindez was armed with a stolen 45-caliber handgun he took during another home invasion robbery. That victim, 50-year-old David 0’Burien, was not so lucky. He died from stab wounds to the chest

    Ever wonder why good stuff never makes NBC, CBS, PBS, MSNBC, CNN, or ABC news? An 11-year-old girl, properly trained, defended her home, and herself
    against two murderous, illegal immigrants and she wins.

    She is still alive. Now THAT is Gun Control!

    Thought for the day: Calling an illegal alien an ‘undocumented immigrant’ is like calling a drug dealer an ‘unlicensed pharmacist.’

    I BELIEVE YOU’LL PROBABLY PASS THIS ON!!!!!!”

    Have a good day, Jerry

      Hi Jerry.
      There is something very comforting having a Mossberg at hand.

      I hope the young lady does not ever become haunted by the event.

    I recognize that photo— it’s from a British news report showing dead starlings in Wales. They were found “mysteriously” dazed, wounded, bloodied, with many dead in that country lane and fields. But no one mentioned the wind turbines a few hundred metres away. That’s how far birds are often flung after colliding with the spinning blades of wind turbines, and that’s why wind turbine companies worldwide limit the area of “bird kill counts” to a much narrower diameter, to make it appear as if there are few bird deaths.

    @Protestant, It is indeed from a UK news report from Dec 2019. It is believed that due to the angle of the sun shining on a wet road, they were visually confused, and all ploughed in together. The report said they dropped dead out of the sky, but this doesn’t really stand up as they are all together on a narrow lane. I believe this was controlled flight into terrain caused by the sun and a wet road. Link: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-50741457

    I refer to the statement in the article – “Obviously something is killing all those birds, and hopefully scientists will have something solid to tell us very soon.”

    How long before the scientists say “climate change”??????!!!!!!!!!

    Does canary in a mine ring bells for anyone!!! If the canary died you were to get the hell out of where you were FAST!! So are humans next on the Globalists list…. 5g, weakening magnetic field, wind turbines, man made spike proteins,

    Yep, microwave radiation from 5G and Haarp.
    Most people don’t know Haarp is the biggest weapon of mass destruction, a lot worst than nuclear.
