2 more dead birds!!!!! And the neighbor's have MORE

June 3, 2008

So. we found two more dead birds in our yard! One adult and one young..

that is 7 total. The dog neighbors were out and I yelled over to ask if

they had seen any dead birds and he says, " Yeah, we've had a bunch of them. "

Our next door neighbors have not found any... This is just really odd.

It's like they are just dropping dead out of the sky..

If this is pesticide or insecticide related..kind of creepy thinking about

what these chemicals are doing to us and who is using them and why is it

that we've never had a year like this. The dog neighbors did not seem

concerned at all.

Weird stuff. I took a picture of the one dead bird (adult)--- why? I

don't know. he's in good condition as in not chewed or anything--- weird.

Peace be with you,

Pattie

Pattie,

This may sound like a horrible question...but do you think one of

your neighbors could be intentionally poisioning them? I have lived

in Texas all my life and know it is pretty customary in some areas

around here for people who are getting annonyed with an over

abundance of wildlife to start poisioning them. Are they all the

same type of bird or several different kinds? I know there are

things that can be used to poision birds because people have been

known to use it in the cities around here to kill the grackles when

we get thousands of them in at once. Just a thought.

I hope you figure it out! It would have me pretty concerned too!

This thought occurred to me... I talked with our neighbors at the other end

of the street and they do not have any dead birds... our next door

neighbors on both sides do not have dead birds. When I spoke to the guy

right behind us, he said he had a bunch but was not the least bit

concerned. Our neighbors (other than this guy who is kind of rough) have

all been concerned.so it seems weird that he just blew it off when everyone

else seems to think it is VERY strange and is VERY concerned.

Peace be with you,

Pattie
