The bigger question is: How does one inflict blunt force trauma on 5000 bird in the air at the same time?

With a “whack-whack” here and a “whack-whack” there, I guess...

Crash ‘em into something. The ground would work.

I think it means they were alive when they hit the ground. Which begs the question . . .

Easy if you’re Jackie Chan with a baseball bat.

When Slick and Her Thighness went back to Arkansas, 5,000 birds dropped dead.

I heard ornithologist from Chicago explain how the blunt force possibly occurred.
These birds roost in huge numbers, they are inactive at night.
When startled in the night they tend to have mass panic, all try to avoid whatever started panic. They are known to fly at 30mph, in the dark they tend to mid air collisons.

This ornithologist indicated that roosts were in excess of 100k + birds. So 5k in collison related deaths was not unusual.
Same ornithologist posited that reason this getting so much air time, is due to fish die off and 5000 birds cluttering the ground.

747, Blackbirds, flying in black cloud swarm like they frequently do, (Some swarms as big as 20,000)

Airline on final approach with flaps and gear down, wake turbulence and wing vortices's could easily kill this many birds in one incident.

Now, the tin-foil version would be another evil Gubbermint kuver up for chemical radiation death ray biological weapon hysteria. I tend to look at the more realistic and logical explanation.
