It's the Polar Shift. Disoriented 'internal gps' results in birds flying upward, thus depleting oxygen, atmospheric pressure squeezes their frail bodies resulting in them plummeting in flocks to their deaths worldwide. Fish & aquatic life swimming downward and succumbing to atmospheric pressure and rising to the surface in death. Until the season changes and their 'internal gps' is reset by the climactic jolt, there will be a few more deaths. It happens every so often and the media loves to play up the fear and speculation of exaggerated hypotheses.

So let’s give thanks for responsible news organizations who have countered the stupidity and paranoia. National Geographic talked to ornithologist Karen Rowe of the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission, who explained her theory of how the red-winged black birds died in Beebe:
“Right before they began to fall, it appears that really loud booms from professional-grade firework–10 to 12 of them, a few seconds apart–were reported in the general vicinity of a roost of the birds, flushing them out,” Rowe said. “There were other, legal fireworks set off at the same time that might have then forced the birds to fly lower than they normally do, below treetop level, and [these] birds have very poor night vision and do not typically fly at night.”
Rowe thinks that the birds, flying blind, crashed into houses and trees, and died of blunt force trauma.
