Bay area residents are reporting that dozens of birds are exploding and falling out of the sky mid flight.
One ring camera caught the instant of a bird's demise on video. I've time stamped it in this report.

There's a pop and then it drops.
Residents watching it happen explain it like this:
‘So when they land and it happens, they just quickly explode and it's really violent,' Richmond resident Maximillian Bolling told KGO-TV.
And
'It sounded like a firecracker, and a black bird — a starling — just plummeted to the ground,' witness Mark Hoehner told ABC News. 'I've been under the birds when it happens, and I know where the sound is coming from. It's coming from up on the pole.'
The sound coming from up on the pole caused the residents to call the electrical company, who had fish and wildlife come out and inspect the birds.
‘They have shared that the birds show no evidence of electrocution, and that their deaths were caused by trauma, potentially from a pellet or BB gun, or slingshot,' the utility said in a statement.
But the residents aren't satisfied with that answer.
‘I feel like a BB gun doesn't make a firecracker noise,' resident Heather Jones told the outlet. ‘This sounds exactly like a firecracker.'
The folks on the internet have their own ideas about what is causing the birds to pop and drop.

I feel like a BB gun doesn’t make a firecracker noise,’ resident Heather Jones told the outlet. ‘This sounds exactly like a firecracker.’

Feel?
and then it hit the ground like a wet bag of cement!!
Alka Seltzer?
“So, you salt a quantity of pellet-size beads of Portland cement into the wild bird seed . . .”
I like a 410 but catch ‘em on the ground or in a tree.
Females ‘feel’...................
That was my first thought too!
Bird gas
There’s only one thing that I know of that will make a bird explode, an intense beam of energy like from a solar mirror or LASER...................
Filming another Doctor Who episode? Or a horror movie?
Someone playing with a laser................
Maybe it’s that baseball pitcher who nailed the pigeon.
First it was the Muzzie terrorists with defective pagers and now this. The End is Near!
Why would they need a speaker?..................
