Speakign of Birds too close together. I have seen hoards of birds on
electrical lines to th epoint to where there were enough in the air and on the
lines to allow an arc to propogate. And with a loud BOOM about forty birds
were crispy critters. Of course...thats pretty easy to diagnose. Parasites
and a ten degree weather dip is a bit suspect........I think somthing was
covered up....

Yee godz... I remember the insidious hoard of crackles congregating downtown
at the edges of town lake!
I think it likely that so many birds so close together might be hazardous to
their health - (unbridled populations could certainly lead to malnutrition -
enhanced parasitic infestation too).
Otherwise maybe some evil genius with an anti-avian bent cooked up some
chemicals to knock 'em down.... Or maybe it was one of those DARPA experiments
that you won't hear about for another 10 years. Hmmmm....

I attempted to follow that story because I work downtown. I understand
that an aggieland lab analyzed the dead birds. Weeks later they concluded that
the birds died because they were malnourished and parasitic.
Seemed to be another way of saying, "We ran tests, then more tests, but
didn't come up with any hits. Maybe no one will ask any more questions".
Naturally, no one in the press corp bothered to report about the statistical
likelihood (NOT) of so many deaths concentrated in a 4 block area of downtown.
One possible explanation, only a guess.... They had been trapped in a
building, dehydrated and starved, and someone opened a vent/door/window just as
the cold front blew in. There were at least three species found. No
conspiracy, just a possibility.
The dead bird story was reported on a Monday, the same day there were
reports of bad smells over NYC. They later determined it was a natural gas
stink emanating from New Jersey. Harlarious!
Also the day following the secret night-time attack by the USAF on some
terrorist cell related to the embassy bombings. I think they knocked off a
caravan of travelers in an air strike, but it was later reported as an
"unsuccessful" mission. I don't remember it really.

Anyone ever hear why the street was full of dead birds in downtown Austin
some months back?
