Dead birds fall from sky in central Sweden ( WATCH THE VIDEO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

Stockholm - The mass death of a flock of birds in a small Swedish town was to be investigated by veterinarians on Wednesday, local media reported.

Some 50, perhaps as many as 100, dead jackdaws were found on a street in the south-western town of Falkoping late Tuesday evening, reports said.

The area has been cordoned off, Perry Malmberg of the emergency services told Swedish TV.

A few days ago, several thousand dead birds were found in the US state of Arkansas. One theory was that those birds had been shocked by New Year fireworks

the end is near :(

How many fireworks are there, "Shortly before midnight on Tuesday"? Do you celebrate new years 3 days later in Sweden?

yep its stupid xD

The lame explanations start to come out now. A truck driver calls in and says "yes it was me I ran over 70 birds". That's impossible, it was not out on an open road so he cannot have driven at high speed. It's very common to cross a flock of jackdaws out on the road and if you travel at high speed you can perhaps manage to kill one or two. They usually manage to avoid cars even at high speed.

They were Jackdaws? :(

I feed Jackdaws bread, in my garden.

Less fraidy than other birds.

- We do not know what the cause is, "says Tomas Ahlgren, internal officers of the police in Skövde said.

According to Swedish Radio Skaraborg, these are between 50 and 100 dead birds.

According to Anders Wirdheim the Swedish Ornithological Society (SOF) has jackdaws probably have been frightened in the middle of the night and then flown around in the dark and collided with various objects.

- Jackdaws sleep in trees in large flocks. Will they be frightened hundreds of birds take wing at once, "he says.

Even in the U.S. this has been the species that spend the night together in large groups - rödvingetrupialer, cowbirds, and common starlings. But Anders Wirdheim out that it is not impossible that the situation could be exacerbated by the fact that the birds are weakened.

- This winter has been unusually tough and jackdaws may have been in poor condition. That makes it easier to fly into different objects. It's damn little food in the wild compared to previous years and I see myself dying birds every day.

They cared for bird carcasses are transported during the day to the National Veterinary Institute (SVA) in Uppsala by courier.

It says Olov Andersson, Director of Communications at SVA.

- It takes several hours before they come here, and partly depends on the weather, "he says.

- Then we make an assessment based on the information we have, whether through direct contacts in the field, and opens the birds to watch them. One hopes that the animals we have here is not crushed by the car wheels or injured by dogs and cats.

Animal carcasses are examined anatomically. Bacterial and viral samples, and also tests for avian flu.

- Perhaps we have a performance late Friday or early next week, "said Olof Andersson.

Why the fuck do they keep saying it was fireworks? This happened tuesday night! Days after new years eve.

I can see it now, 2 weeks from now this will still be going on and they will still be blaming fireworks.

I'm fuckin DONE!

^THIS!

at the stupidity of "fireworks"

How long has fireworks been around? Something is fishy.

The real conspiracy....

Whats inside these new chines fireworks!

Chemtrails (not a joke)

Ummmm.we ALL are.

OMG ... the birds wear my homelands colours ... OMG ... man the lifeboat ... the doom is cometh ...

No, i live there. It's something else!!

Understand that the media in Sweden is very "managed". When something strange happens it is always followed by the "experts" telling people what it is or what to think about it.

Not too different from America.

None of this leap of logic links to fish...

Actually EXACTLY like the US

Very badly managed; unless you also light off fireworks four days after the 31st. Seems like they just 'went with' the AR story line before even thinking!

Yeah, it's funny how the sheeple are now conditioned to believe anything some UNNAMED 'experts' say. Yes that's right - they often don't even mention any specific names.

The fireworks and the truck driver explanations are just silly.

You're right. So if "fireworks" are causing the birds to startle and commit suicide, what are killing the fish? The explanation for one should be the explanation for the other. Nobody is buying the "fireworks" excuse and you know the media folks have to feel like idiots putting that out there! If they don't, they should!

Once dead fish start falling from the sky I'm calling doom!

peter olsen remains septical. he should really get that checked out.

Lol, that's funny as it happened a while back, it was indeed raining fish, explanation was they were picked out of the water by a tornado.

That gave me goosebumps and then I started crying and then I got angry that these scientists are still trying to tell us that thousands of birds died from being scared of fireworks.
