Hundreds of blackbirds fell dead from the sky at a small town in the US
state of Arkansas for the second New Year's Eve in a row, a media report
said.
It Occurred Beebe in Arkansas just a few hours before
midnight on Saturday. Quoting animal control worker Hearst Taylor, it
said that the reason for the bird deaths is not known yet.
In 2010,
during the same time, about 4,000 black birds fell from the sky all over
the city. Official say blunt force trauma to the birds caused them to
fall from the sky and many say fireworks could be the reason they died.
But,
it wasn't immediately clear if year-end celebrations are again to
blame. However, Beebe police imposed an impromptu fireworks ban on the
night.
