Google "mass bird deaths" and you can find many such incidents from earlier years... mostly bird flu.

The only thing "unusual" this time around is the media attention.

FROM THE NEW ZEALAND PENNISULA..

Charlotte Pearsall, whose family have lived at Little Bay for the last 30 years, said she had never seen anything like it.

‘’It was so surreal,’’ she said. ‘’It’s such an incredible waste - it could’ve fed the whole northern tip of the Coromandel.’’

People with binoculars said the snapper stretched as far as they could see and boaties reported ‘’a carpet of floating fish further out to sea all along the coast’’.

‘’We initially thought ‘woohoo a free feed’ but they had really cloudy eyes and you could see the birds had been at them. Some of them had no eyes,’’ Pearsall said.

I thought they checked the birds and found no disease. Only blunt trauma.

Kind of like the shark attack mentality. They always happen. They are more highlighted during a slow news period
