This is just so strange. The dog was perfectly fine. If it had been lack of oxygen or something like that, the dog would have died, too.

Re: Birds Drop Dead On Plane!!!
the first thing I think of is the pressure at that altitude and lack of oxygen. This is why the cabin is pressurized.

Flew through a chemtrail and the chemicals ran through the engine compressors and into the cabin air. It was the canary-in-the-coal-mine effect, which is why the dog was unharmed.

Why did the miners take a canary with them to the coal mine?
Poor people do poor people things, and rich people do rich people things.

You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity by legislating the wealthy out of prosperity.

What one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving.

The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else.

When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them, and the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for, that my dear friend, is the beginning of the end of any nation.

You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it!

when you rob Paul to give to Peter ... ... ... you will always get Peters support!

After World War 2, we discovered Hitler had been running a mass extinction program killing millions of jews right under our noses.

After World War 3, we will "discover" TPTB have been running a mass extinction program killing millions of jews and non-jews alike, right under our noses.

Birds are more sensitive to radiation than larger animals. Not sure if this is true but I've read the dose of radiation a human gets during a normal x-ray will kill a small bird.

The heliosphere may be pushed back to less than 1AU from the sun or the magnetosphere has holes in it?

You read the article. These were LIVE CAUGHT ADULTS. No one would have fed them any of those foods. They were wild caught bird whose first opinion of humans is having a net thrown over you. Have some starbucks and apple seeds?

Something else, has to be. Air pressure loss perhaps.

They were used in mines due to their advanced respiration anatomy. Unlike mammals who are "2 stroke" breathers all birds are "4 stroke breathers" They get so much more oxygen (and everything else) out of the air this way.

Ohh and look, it's an African Grey in the example.

Damn shame they died, one the smartest birds on the planet.
