Gravitas: Why hundreds of birds fell to death in Mexico

A viral video shows hundreds of migratory birds falling to death in Mexico. Some netizens say the birds flew through power lines. Some blame the death on 'magnetic field issues'. Experts have a different explanation. Palki Sharma brings you a report.

Hi everyone, I live in North Wales where the Starlings dropped dead out of the sky - I also witnessed it FIRST HAND. The starlings were NOT evading a predator, there were no predatory birds in the sky and they were dead BEFORE they hit the ground. Not all of the Starlings were effected in the same way, but in that day the overhead power lines were humming far louder and at a different resonant frequency than usual, which had the effect of creating a feeling of static in the air when stood closely enough to them.
Wion - rather than interview “experts” (just media speak for “another a’hole with an agenda”) how about you interview actual eye witnesses??

It's not a coincidence that Elon Musk lost 40 satellites the same day. Due to solar activity. Birds are very dependent on magnetic fields for navigation.

Something strange here because if were just a case of the birds accidentally flying into the ground there would be a lot of injured but still alive birds with broken wings or other injuries flopping around. Why are they all stone dead so quickly?

This also happened in Arkansas in 2011. Five thousand birds died that time

This clearly doesnt look like a predator. It's very unnatural and needs to be investigated. Very very sad😔

[omchatterjee]

The only thing that’s unbelievable in this report is that they hit the ground while escaping a predator. That’s a bizarre explanation. For millions of years birds and predators have been flying together, what changed now?

Rest in peace Yellow Headed Blackbirds. May God have you all in his glory! 💐🙏

[uabir]

Am I the only one who is not blaming anything and who is actually sad for the birbs? 😢😢😭😭

[darla]

Sad to see those beautiful birds pass away like that. Birds and all animals warn us for threats they sense things early even if it was time to migrate something going on

I fly drones and both my friends and myself have experienced a series of drone losses within a 2 week period. All drones were lost just to the north of Newcastle in the UK. All our drones suffered exactly the same faults and died as a result. All our losses were on separate days and within 4 miles of the same spot. Something very powerful hit our drones and destroyed the electronics.
All will be linked, all will be some sort of frequency attack.

I noticed that less and less birds flies on the sky, another is butterflies I do not see anyone outside, simples, desapeared😢🤔😳😢😢😢

My guess is seeing that the majority of birds flew away, those dead on the ground died were the first ones that hit the ground on impact and was crushed by the other birds landing on top of them.

Wait wait wait, you guys said, "It has never happened before". So if it has never happened before how is it "birds fleeing a predator"?

[fgh]

What about the predator? What are they in this case? It looks the birds lost their sense of up and down. I can't believe a single predator could have done this.

I am far from South America, but i noticed very high static field electricity this year, normally i only notice it while changing clothes, but now is just far more intense then ever before, also people, remember just recently 40 satellites from SpaceX fall onto Earth, blamed on Geomagnetic Solar Storm if i remember correctly, not even gonna mention the weather makes no sense, where usually was cold, is not warm, and so on.
Poor birds.

"This has never happened before"
"This has happened before"

[brucecook]

the birds were caught in a microburst the dead birds were the ones which impacted the ground, not all the birds died many flew off

[wisdomleader]

This reminds me of the beginning of the movie "The Core". Some animals rely on their magnetoreception to stay alive and navigate.

[stephendoherty]

I agree w/ Mr. Tatum.
It was the 1st thing I thought of.

This happened here in Davis County, Utah, last year. It was swans falling from the sky, 10lb birds that had flown thru a lightning storm !
