More than one hundred Butung starlings suddenly fell to earth and die

The atmosphere is seen as part of a horror movie. In the week last night, on top of the page of a quiet house in Somerset, a large number of bird starling suddenly dived, crashed to earth and die.

More than 100 dead birds had covered the garden so it looks like a carpet, each with blood that trickled from the beak and claws.

Most birds that die when touching the ground, some flapping his wings with a weak, clearly in pain, until officers from the RSPCA (Royal Society for the prevention of Cruelty to animals) to come and remove it from their suffering.

Julie Knight, 53, was returning to his home in a quiet village in Coxley on at 4:15 in the afternoon when it accidentally witnessed the horrible scene.

Julie, who is a nurse, said: "The scene was like a part of a horror movie - like a Hitchcock film - The Birds - It's really scary."

"It was like a wet bird. One of my neighbors also witnessed it. The birds that fall easily into the ground. About 70 heads seem to die instantly. "

"The only way to describe the events that are, such as seized by the horror they are very highly. There are at least about 100 birds over. I've lived in the village all my life and I've never seen anything like this event. "

Similar events have also been reported in many places in the world where most pesticides and collisions are considered responsible.

Mrs.Knight added: "I am concerned with what you have to kill the birds because I also have a grandson who was a child and two cats who often play in the garden. The only thing I could think was, the birds may have been consuming crops that have been dipestisida so that they become poisoned. But, still, weird. "

Lloyd Scott, from the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds, said: "This event is one of the most bizarre event we've ever come across."

Lloyd also said that nearly impossible birds collided in the air because of the confusion. According to him, Starling birds have unique capabilities. When they fly in large groups, they will move based on the seven birds that were nearby. So instinctively, they will each keep a safe distance.

The researchers are now taking the bird carcasses for examination.

At each dead birds were starlings, found physical injuries, mostly broken wing or beak is broken. Also, there are no diseases or toxins in their bodies. Currently still could not conclude with certainty the cause of death. Nearby there are no electrical wires or anything that might be the cause.

RSCPA spokeswoman, Helen Cohen concludes: "The only explanation we could think of is, something has caused the bird flocks that caused them to change course fell to the ground. Could be a bird of prey. But it is still a mystery "
