photographs Cortesía | Seguridad Pública, according
to local reports, the incident happened on the morning of February 7, a flock of
hundreds of yellow-headed blackbirds flew straight into the pavement in the
Mexican town of Cuauhtémoc, a sight that has left a lot of people wondering what on earth had happened,
footage
from a security camera shows a large flock of yellow-headed blackbirds
descending upon on a house before brutally crashing into the asphalt. Although
most of the birds manage to take to the skies after the bizarre crash, many can
be seen scattered on the street, barely moving, photographs taken at the scene show dozens of bird carcasses, confirming that the unusual descent had been fatal for
some of the birds,
the story was picked up by some of the UK press, “For my
part and from one video and no toxicology, I’d still say the most probable
cause is the flock murmurating to avoid a predatory raptor and hitting the
ground,” Dr Alexander Lees, a senior lecturer in conservation biology at
Manchester Metropolitan University, told The Guardian, “This looks
like a raptor-like a peregrine or hawk has been chasing a flock, like they do
with murmurating starlings, and they have crashed as the flock was forced low,”
Dr Richard Broughton, an ecologist with the UK Centre for Ecology &
Hydrology, agreed. “You can see that they act as a wave at the beginning, as if
they are being flushed from above.” despite the
explanation offered by experts, many on social media are inclined to believe
conspiracy theories involving 5G technology, electrocution and even extreme
pollution, in any event what a bizarre happening.
