There was a research paper floating around about pesticides being the cause the last time flocks were falling out of the sky. Of course big agro shut down anyone trying to prove it and we're back to "Who could have done this??"
Yep. I bet if you overlaid the map of dead bird occurrences on a map of Brood X cicadas you'd have a pretty strong correlation. Whether cicadas are soaking in lawn chemicals for 17 years or idiots were trying to kill them with lawn chemicals, they were probably giving the birds pesticide poisoning. The symptoms are clear cases of pesticide poisoning, but Big Ag/Pharma will never let it come to light. We'll just keep pretending we don't know.
