We all see the occasional roadkill, are disgusted, but then it’s quickly forgotten. Nothing too out of the ordinary. But lately, we’ve been noticing a spike in fallen birds. Crows in particular. Childhood fears of all avian-related diseases/attacks come rushing back. I’ve contacted the Texas Department of of State Health Services, let’s see what their response will be.
Let us know if you’ve noticed similar occurrences in your area.
UPDATE: A representative contacted me today, both via phone and e-mail. Although she didn’t offer too much helpful information, she was very nice and spoke earnestly. My issue has been relegated to the city of Garland and they probably won’ t do anything to assuage my fears. However, she thanked me for informing them, and if they receive more concerns from the same area, an investigation will be initiated.
Also, it could be the West Nile Virus.
freaky. hitchcock freaky.
fake calls go.
That’s really creepy. One time, there was a family of birds above my bedroom window. They kept chirping incessantly. It got really annoying. After 4 days, I finally remembered to check up on them. But when I climbed up there, I found them all dead. Weird, right? I never knew what killed them.
Weird. I saw a dead bird outside my school the other day. It was a beautiful canary, poor thing
