Birds Are Dropping Dead All Over The US, And No One Is Quite Sure Why

Who had this on their 2021 dystopia bingo board?? First reported in the Washington, D.C. and surrounding DMV area, reports have now spread to at least 7 states, with various state authorities investigating in the hopes of identifying a cause.

The birds appear disoriented and sluggish before death, indicative to some of a neurodegenerative problem of some kind.

What to look for? Here’s what one expert interviewed by USA Today had to say:

Kearns said not all birds have the same exact symptoms, but one thing is common: physical changes around the eyes.

"Some report crustiness around the eyes, some report like bulging or swollen eyes. And then we've also had reports of the eyes being kind of sunken in," Kearns said.

She added the birds also show neurological symptoms like not being able to keep their heads up or are uncoordinated, saying, "they just kind of seem disoriented."

Maybe the birds should be supplementing with a little C60? Because this doesn’t sound good — it doesn’t sound good at all. Birds with sunken in eyes dropping from the sky sounds like the opening scene of a Stephen King adaptation. We don’t need that at all, folks.
