WHOOOEEEE! MINDY SUE, WE'RE GONNA EAT LIKE KINGS TONIGHT!

Well, my money is on E.O Wilson's explanation which is basically that this is a Law of 5s thing. 

Oh hey, while I was typing this I looked down and found a quarter.  Neat.

Also, the idea that prior to 2011 human technology was simply too primitive to document such occurrences = LOL.

I hope that's not directed at me, because that was not the intended message of my post.  Just saying that we will be seeing things, and probably have been seeing things, in the last few years and upcoming years that have been happening randomly at irregular intervals in the past, due to the saturation of information which is accompanying social networking.  Not that technology was too primitive before, it simply wasn't as ubiquitous.

Not at you personally, but at the people quoted as presenting that as an explanation.

No conclusions drawn.

Oh, yeah, the fact that you concluded with that TOTALLY means that no one should reply to your preceding statements with relevant facts. 

Fine, don't believe me.  I haven't been convinced in any specific direction, I'm just trying to see what facts exist, and which speculations may fit them.

For example, autopsies have shown physica trauma, and no evidence of toxins.



And if you recall, my first wild guess was some sort of military jet/stealth technology that collided or buffetted the birds, using NYE as cover.

On what planet does replying to the facts you've presented equal assuming that you have come to a conclusion?

I have a distinct feeling this is merely a communication problem we've got going on, so I'm not gonna fight.



Anyone want to lay bets that there will never be any real investigation into this?

There will be, but the government won't give a grant to the university that's going to do it, so we'll never hear about it.

Yes. That is correct. I am not arguing with you, I am replying to the facts which you presented, expressing my skepticism that they explain what happened to the birds.

And yes, I suspect there will never be any real investigation.

It all sounds suspiciously like the prologue to a dystopian story.

"Nobody realized it at the time, but it all started with the dying birds."

It's a really nasty solar flare that's making life on Earth become lethally stupid.
