Birds fall from sky over town

THOUSANDS of birds have fallen from the skies over Esperance and no one knows why.
Is it an illness, toxins or a natural phenomenon? A string of autopsies in Perth have shed no light on the mystery.

All the residents of flood-devastated Esperance know is that their "dawn chorus" of singing birds is missing.

The main casualties are wattle birds, yellow-throated miners, new holland honeyeaters and singing honeyeaters, although some dead crows, hawks and pigeons have also been found.

alternatively, a sign of things to come, perhaps?

Actually, my statement was the 'alternatively' part to your OP. Hence the "Orrrr" at the beginning.

You can't lay out an alternative to an alternative when the second alternative is the original. Duh. 😛

... yeah, that was much creepier than "A disturbing glimpse of our future..?"

So you forsee a future where lots of birds are dying... or a future where lots of humans are falling out of the sky... or what?

sure I can, it's a never ending loop situation. 😛

like I was saying, a disturbing glimpse into a rather frightening future, perhaps..? A world of no birds and flowers. 🙁

Maybe I missed it, where did "no flowers" come from?

I normally dont' pay attention to news but was thinking this might have been releated, but 63 dead ones in Austin, Tx USA compared to Australias 1000's is no match.

News link, happened the other day.
 
May this serve as a warning to future generations of birds:

<ominous voice>
You will fall from the sky.

DUN DUN DUN

Stay tuned for a preview of next week's exciting phenomenon... on Scary Planet Geekly!

The volcano's latest burst of activity began on Dec. 24. Glowing streaks of red from the pyroclastic flows have created nighttime spectacles visible across much of the island.

Sounds like what happens after eating Taco Bell.
