Environmental experts baffled as thousands of blackbirds literally drop dead from the sky
Residents of Beebe in Arkansas have been left with an environmental mystery after more than 2,000 blackbirds fell to their deaths in a section of the city.
The birds fell in frightening quantities off Windwood Drive, leaving experts in the area scratching their heads over the cause of the phenomenon.
Some residents initially thought that the birds might have been poisoned - as many think the large influx of the birds around this time of year are a nuisance.
One resident said: 'Millions, millions fly over every night. You look up at the sky and it's just black.
'Last night at about 10.30pm I came out here and saw a bird drop.'
In a matter of hours on New Year's Eve thousands of birds fell from the sky to their death.
Resident Melissa Weatherly told the local THVstation: 'It was horrible, you could not even get down the road without running over hundreds. It was that bad.'
The unexplained event drew dozens of U.S. Environmental Services crews, who turned the usually quiet area into what looked like a scene from a disaster movie.
