The birds were initially spotted in the sky by a passer-by, who returned to the road around an hour later and found them all dead.
"My gut instinct is that they have been poisoned, but we don't know. It is hard to say really."
The couple have contacted the police and the Animal and Plant Health Agency who they say are looking into the incident.
"We are keen to ensure the incident is investigated by the authorities, but for the time being it is important not to speculate on the cause."

They all started pinin’ for the fjords at the same instant, while airborne.

Windmill?
Road repair? Some bird are very sensitive to fumes
Poisoned seed? Some seeds have a coating on them to prevent vermin from eating them. It disolves away once planted but if someone tossed a bag out it could possibly harm the birds.
And then of course....

Anything that rids the earth of starlings can’t be all bad.

Were they wearing tiny red cowboy hats?

Starlings by the look of them. Poisoning (possibly not intentional) seems foremost on the list of possibilities to me, too.

Looks like a Starling.
Usually classed as invasive species in the USA (not protected).

There are also some plants that become toxic after a frost. I think sorghum is one of them.

Probably flew into one of Greta Thunberg or AOC’s giant propellers.

See the berries-— after a frost, there are several varietals that, having already fermented, can develop toxins from the peels— the outer skin.
And large groups of blackbirds have been known to be struck down all at once from feeding,as they do as a group, so get dosed at the same time with the toxins. Does happen frequently, and it ain’t globull warming.

You know, when reading this article I was thinking about the same thing. Either that, or they flew into some sort of cold thermal that froze them or something like that.
