    The paper said that it supposedly happened because the fireworks confused the birds and they were runing into things and them selves.

    In Louisana, the theory is they ran into live electrical wires.

    None of that makes much sense to me.

    That is what I heard too, but doesn't it seem odd. If it's true, why doesn't it happen every year?

    You all may think I'm a looney tune.BUT I honestly believe this is just signs of the times just like the food prices going up up up and gas and all the other things happening in the world today.

    Also just read msn today and another mass bird death happened in Lousianna today!! About 500 birds died again!! Is this not insane or what!!

    AND!! They still have no clue as to what happened!!
    This is happening other places, too. My husband thinks the area being hit might have a methane release in the air causing a breathing obstruction for the birds. Methane is released from the ground in a lot of areas just due to the drilling or digging into the earth. Just a thought.

    They had another group today in TX. They said they were killed by running into cars. How stupid do they think we are?

    Pretty stupid. Look at all we've "bought" so far that they've been dishing out for years. We need to get our heads out of the sand.
