Story:
On Wednesday, Kentucky wildlife officials said several hundred grackles, red wing blackbirds, robins and starlings were found dead last week in the western part of the state.
It’s almost certainly a coincidence the events happened within days of each other, Louisiana‘s state wildlife veterinarian Jim LaCour said Tuesday. “I haven’t found anything to link the two at this point.”
To add to the mystery, 50-100 jackdaws, a bird species in the crow family, fell dead in central Sweden late Tuesday night,English-language Swedish news website The Local reported Wednesday.
“We do not know what the cause is,” Skovde police commander Tomas Ahlgren said. The birds fell in the city of Falkoping, which is southeast of Skovde.
