someone sprayed something and they injected it.

Maybe a Zika Freka result ?

Grackles are not songbirds.

Rap music floating upward?

I never thought of Grackles as a song bird.

I think they are an invasive species too.

[exDemMom]

Maybe something scared them, and they all dropped dead?

I remember that in California, the public health department would occasionally send notices to watch out for large numbers of dead birds, and not to touch them if you found them. They could have an encephalitis virus that is also deadly to humans.

But in Boston, I don’t know... it does not seem like a disease would cause a group of birds to fall out of the sky, dead. But suddenly startling them, or a whiff of poison could do it.

Don't tell me it's H5N1....

Let me guess...Avian Zika.

[DesertRhino]

Ive never heard a Grackle called a “songbird”. Boston is odd.

[Carthego delenda est]

Sounds like someone got tired of a flock of Grackles continually in their garden or something and put out some gopher bait (strychnine laced seed) for them.

Something like this happened in that tv show FlashForward, when they turned on the haldon collider or some such contraption.

That’s what happens when you sing. Never, ever cross Hillary.

What a shame. They couldn’t live with the inherent guilt that comes with ‘songbird privilege’.

[niteowl77]

The common grackle is classified as a "songbird" as it is a member of the blackbird family, albeit a particularly poor singer. They can be irritating birds, but I'll take them any day over the bloody-minded starlings and english/"house" sparrows that make life miserable for all the other birds around here.
