birds here in michigan are going crazy

Sounds like a shitty situation,... Stay indoors OP, bird doom is about!

barometirc pressure has gone wonky -they feel it.

Rain season is coming.

same happened here in aus months ago.

like a thousand birds just came flying in from the south and almost all landed on my neighbors roof - taking off, circling around, landing and repeating like 15 times.

they were all squaking like mad - i ran outside because i've never heard ANYTHING like that before or since.

after about 20 mins they all took off and flew back the way they come - the whole time not one bird crashed and fell - yet they were all clustered together in almost a cloud type formation.

crazy shit - reminded me of that resident evil movie with all the zombified crows attacking the convoy.


nothing of any interest happened tho - kept eye on the news, radio and outside. nothing mentioned, no disaster.

was about 10am(?) and a really nice sunny day too. strange.

This sort of behavior starts around autumn and spring and they gather to begin their migrations.

We get a lot of Brewer's blackbirds, starlings, Canadian geese and sometimes crows gather in huge flocks before they move off to their summering or wintering grounds.

They gather in my 200' tall oak trees and make a deafening racket.

The only thing different for us this year are straggling flocks of Greater white-front geese, who by now are usually exceedingly high up in the atmosphere in large V groups as they travel down to the central state. I've never seen them come around and land like this.

The turkey vultures have begun their gathering, too. You can see 40-100 of them circling in a formation called 'kettling'...it is really quite a sight, but the numbers are down for them this year.

The crows were going nuts this morning in NC.

called migration ...happens every year .... you just choose to pay attention now..... Port Huron here

Not so fast!

Many people have been reporting "odd" bird/animal behavior, lately. I;m not saying it's a "new behavior", it's just occuring in "different" locations making people notice. If these animals use magnetism to aid in their migration routes, new appearances in new areas might signal a change in the magnetism/pole shifting?

Maybe the pigs took their eggs.
