The recent mysterious deaths of birds and fish are causing alarm among naturalists around the world. Birds are literally falling dead out of the sky, and fish are washing up dead on shores and rivers across North America and around the world. The reaction from the mainstream media seems strangely subdued, as if they're all just blowing this off as some unexplained quirk about the natural world that should be largely ignored.
NaturalNews readers think differently. We are concerned when thousands of dead birds fall out of the sky for no apparent reason. The sky itself may not be falling, but previously live animals are clearly falling out of it. If that's not enough reason to wonder what the heck is happening to our planet, then what is?
These are clear signs that something is wrong. Red flags from nature, if you will. Here's the timeline of recent deaths that have been reported:

A superb timeline over here!!
maybe all those chinese flying carp will drop dead...one can only hope.
Hardly a surprise. Y'all need to read less conspiracy stuff and more actual science.
This is a well researched and organized list of the deaths. I had tried to keep up with the various ones, but this is much better than mine.
Funny thing most of those have in common - they happened in winter. A very severe winter. Imagine that - cold can kill. What's next? A breathless timeline of bears crapping in the woods? I can't wait.
*ping*
yeah,the media is whipping up the public to get back into global warming mode
It’s the gulf oil spill, obviously. Or secret weapons projects. Or energy beamed from outer space. I haven’t come to a conclusion yet but those are tops on my list. ;^)
Somehow this has to be linked to Palin I’m just not sure how yet.
It’s been way colder than this, we haven’t even been below zero, this cold weather blame game is nonsense.
Bullcrap. We had near-record cold in December. Y’all are just looking for reasons to get all alarmist. That’s what Natural News and its readership is all about.
While far from being an expert on such matters, I think one possible explanation for some of these occurrences is a general global cooling in mnay areas.
Not global warming which I believe is a complete and utter hoax.
Realize there are publications whose stock in trade is alarmism, as there is a ready market for that. But this can largely be explained by natural phenomenon and by looking at history.
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait...wait...don’t tell me! Don’t tell me! Something vaguely to do either with the end of the world as we know it, the Anti-Christ, global warming, or a filthy combination of all three! Right?
C’mon, this is a clear case of death by Tea Part rhetoric.
We can expect the next to follow: tsunamis that will inundate NYC, massive shifts in climate ---- aw, hell...why not let's just throw "2012" in there for good measure!
This is why the media is so subdued. They do not want to report the obvious for fear of the reaction to such politically incorrect truth.
Mass extinction events happen. Be glad your species isn’t participating. Yet.
And birds can be at risk as well, getting caught in bad weather aloft or unable to find adequate food when it gets covered by winter weather.
