And this from New Zealand:

Birds Fall From The Sky 19/05/2004 01:36 PM Simon Mowbray from DOC tells Newstalk ZB's Paul Holmes about the mysterious case of birds falling from the sky in South Auckland.

Is a link to a radio talk show there and says that 70 gulls dropped dead yesterday afternoon.

>>And our birds' heads are falling off!

Maybe they're just pining for the fjords?<<

Thanks, I just spit my coffee on the monitor. ROFL

[Shut up and take it]

Those evil ranchers shouldn't have interfered with the governments efforts to control cow farts.

"...There's another thread here about 10,000 birds falling from the sky in China.."

Perhaps someone flipped them "the bird".

It's Dan Quail's fault.

"....they just quit flying and fall out of the sky when they are over land. There is even a word for it that I can't presently remember."

Stall?

10,000 birds fall from sky

I read the news today oh, boy
Ten thousand birds in Blackburn, Lancashire
And though the birds were rather small
They had to count them all
Now they know how many birds
it takes to fill the Albert Hall
I'd love to turn you on

Thirty dirty birds sittin' on a curb churpin' and burpin' and eatin' dirty earthworms.
Along comes Ervin from thirty third and third.
Sees the thirty dirty birds sittin' on a curb churpin' and burpin' and eatin' dirty earthworms.
Oy! was he disturbed.
