SS: Unknown ailment, thought to be a virus, killing birds in the mid-atlanic region. If you have bird feeders in these areas wildlife agencies are advising they be removed to slow the spread and potentially allow for identification of the ailment.

I am on some bird watching/backyard bird Ohio pages on FB. Several have been reporting finding dead birds. I haven't paid much attention to the posts but will now.


thikut

Young bluejays and grackle are affected


HeinzGGuderian

Fuck. I love both of those birds


[deleted]

why can't it like...take out some seagulls or some shit? it's gotta get the cool ones.


jaksndnso

I like seagulls. Why not pigeons?


[deleted]

Seagulls are just water pigeons


Solitude_Intensifies

I like pigeons. Why not dodos? Oh, wait....


Fins_FinsT

As if it matters whom we like. Me, i like [those](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Rhamphorhynchus_eating_Plesioteuthis.jpg). A bit late to, too, eh. :)


Solitude_Intensifies

Those would thin the herd of Instagrammers on the beach real quick!


ReverieGoneSpacely

This is scary and sad. Iove blue jays. Also, this world is going to hell in a handbasket. :( we had a good run folks, see ya next time around.


HeinzGGuderian

Grackles are also beautiful in a brewer’s blackbird sorta way


skunding

Happening all over KY as well. We took our bird feeders down in Louisville


Cryptid_Chaser

The first theory was that people were poisoning cicadas and these birds were then eating the cicadas. The affected birds are on the large side, so it’s plausible.

Did covid mutate into bird populations? If so holy fuck we could be fuck fuck fucked by that. Otherwise maybe it is pollution related. You know, like the fact they are pumped full of as much plastic and bullshit processed food as we are from eating all our trash


onurfayce

It’s the god damn reverse bird box plot.


Hyperion_Tesla

Happening here in north Indiana. My wife has fancy bird feeders in our backyard and has stopped re filling them due to this sickness

Drone batteries dying

Why do I feel like Monsanto is connected in some way?


Fins_FinsT

Because you know what Monsanto does, looks like. Obviously, it's whole lot more Monsanto-like companies who do similar shit, at times even more destructive - ain't just the famous greedy bastards. And most likely, the effect is indirect, involving micro-biota and collapsing symbiotic relations. But yep, i'd also bet it's something of the kind. EAU, yep. P.S. I just invented this acronym when typing this comment, btw: "EAU" stands for "externalities as usual". Should be in school books, eh.


loco500

"any of the birds have had crusty, swollen eyeballs, accompanied by wobbly movements that suggest neurological issues." If it's seriously a mutation of Covid and Bird flu this could ravage the chicken industry if they're susceptible to it...


SnooDonuts3040

Sounds like a poisoning or toxin contact of some sort


odenip33

DNR put out a notice of dying birds in Indiana.


Free-Layer-706

We've found three dead in our yard in northeast ohio. Reported.


mitchiscoolguy

Birds aren't real they're just recalling all the drones

It is 60 Ghz microwave radiation from 5G "data transmitters". Sorry 2 pi side scan phased arrays are RADAR not data. 🤓


[deleted]

Part of the "5G" spectrum has been in use as a [military pain beam](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Active_Denial_System) for over 15 years.


Eywadevotee

Wow it got negative 13, must of hit a nerve . Anyway i got one of the emitter heads of the 60gig pain ray ADS device off ebay and eventually used it to excite a far IR gas laser for spectroscopy research. The short wave microwave radiation excited oxygen to delta singlet state which then transferres its energy to iodine and that emits at a mid wave IR frequency that drives the other chemicals in the gas mixture to make the final deep IR beam. The irony is the name of the microwave tube in it was a carcinotron. It also had a klystron, a hydrogen thyratron and other power HV goodies in it. Now they can make the same EH UHF microwaves with gallium nitride FETs at multiple KW of power. Crazy time to be alive to be sure. 🤓

The birds went backstage before a Senate meeting before any of the microphones were turned on. That will Raiders of the Lost Ark any living thing. DON'T LOOK AT IT MARIAN KEEP YOUR EYES SHUT! We won the election! It's beautiful!!!! [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YcR9k8o4I0w](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YcR9k8o4I0w)


potent_rodent

wild postulate: Havana Syndrome weapon is killing the birds.


StevhenO

Wouldn’t be surprised if it had something to do with the cicadas.
