Please, no blackbirds in pies jokes.

I'm thinking it could have been something they ate earlier on. If poisonous, the same birds, eating at the same spot, then moving at the same speed and roughly the same size would die at the same time.
If this is the case though, it would have to be a pretty large flock and, there would be some birds dead in patterns before and after the main grouping on the ground.

I'de bet the right-winged black birds repealed their health care reform and they died simaltaniously of heart attacks ...

I think it's either:
a) global cooling.
b) the birds visited our nastiest state (California) and
picked up a disease.
This is based on my detailed analysis of the situation.

Well, Rowe said (taken from both links) "It's important to understand that a sick bird can't fly. So whatever happened to these birds happened very quickly. It does not appear as though the birds were poisoned.
Since it only involved a flock of blackbirds and only involved them falling out of the sky, it is unlikely they were poisoned, but a necropsy is the only way to determine if the birds died from trauma or toxin."
So that does seem highly unlikely, but this case is still wide open since the testing has not been finished yet. Almost 5,000 birds, all at once? Weird.

No one knows at this time and will likely remain a mystery for a while. Though I think there will be autopsies done to find out why.
Autopsies do not give immediate answers like you see on tv. It took six months before we received definite results about a cat that had died.

But damn Med, 5000 autopsies? Some may have died from old age. Others from drug use...who knows? It could cost us millions.

I only throw it out as a possibility given you narrowed it down somewhat with the weather not being violent at the time.
If they ate so something that was really bad that was fast acting once it was in their system, they would be able to attain flight altitude or better and then, the first to succumb would veer off and die while they fell unnoticed but the main group, dying at the same time, would fall as a main group and be far more noticable because of their numbers.
Lightning is more probably but you say there was none that you know of and I thought of air poisoning of some kind but it would have to be some serious stuff to envelope a flock at altitude and even so, as they caught a wiff, when they fell they would have fallen into cleaner air to breath.

Anybody know more about this?
I checked the weather report in Beebe, Arkansas the night this happened. No storm, no lightning and no hail. And if these birds were at such a high altitude, how high would they have to be? I just read up on them a bit, they are pretty low to the ground during winter from what I have read so far. So that may rule them out at being at such high altitudes. If I'm wrong, correct me please. So whatever this Rowe is saying in her initial knee-jerk reaction guess, is dead wrong.
After this local news report about this, the person who recorded the news segment decided to show us chemtrails or contrails in the sky. Was there a point to this?
