So far no autopsies show any signs of poisoning, so it’s probably not anything environmental. They did all show signs of being stressed, which is often fatal to birds. Lightening, fireworks and the like are possible causes.
As for the fish, it is something that has happened before. No one in the ecological community is especially worried about it, but it is an eerie coincidence.
I’m scared about this so much, as I love birds and I would hate to see them all die 
I went so far as to immediately reality check when I first heard the news. I was not dreaming. 
Just read another article. One scientist pointed out that this does happen from time to time. It is weird that it happened twice with so little time in between, but it mainly sounds worse because so much attention is being paid to it right now.
(Ignore the stupid post that used to occupy this spot. I’d delete if it let me.)
A lot to learn about the world you have my friend. ■■■■ happens and the next apacolypse is always next year.
This is very bizarre and piquing my interest. It’s a very hot topic in the news, too. I’m interested in reading the explanations that they come up with.
I actually hadn’t heard of this until today when a friend mentioned something on it. It’s extremely odd, but the fireworks/lightning theory sounds very sound to me. Neither birds nor fish can stand stress well at all.
It makes sense until you realize that fireworks are traditionally set off every July 4th and New Years Eve. Why only now does it affect the birds, especially of that magnitude with only one species?
It is very peculiar…
/me will look into this. 
Well we can rule out fireworks… Now it is happning all over the world. Craps, fish, birds. Its getting crazy.
Wait… not to be nitpicking or anything… but I hope you mean crabs? 'Cause I have trouble imagining thousands of craps falling from the sky…
Still weird though… have they rules out disease or some sort of virus already?
I heard of it happening in my country too. but don’t think it was on new years, i think it was some days after.
Perhaps it would be interesting to consider, that there is some stuff happening with the Earth’s magnetic poles right now.
Slashdot: Magnetic Pole Shift Affects Tampa Airport
I’m not sure its useful to begin getting hyped up over if something is happening, however it is interesting. I don’t have a huge amount of time to go delving into the details about the species, but it would not surprise me if the particular species affected relied on / used the earth’s magnetism. The fact it is shifting could have had an adverse affect on them.
As has been pointed out, it seems unlikely that fireworks are to blame directly, perhaps combined with another factor they may have had a role, but there was a massive amount of fireworks, much more than normal set off in 2000, yet nothing like this happened.
LOL yea… I think Ive got dice on the brain.
I think we should bring back the 2012 topic now that its so close, and with signs such as Airports adjusting there instruments, because North is shifting, and now animals are dying. Its becoming a real thing it seems.
Personally at this moment I’m putting my money on disease. As far as I know birds and fish can share deseases, be subject to similar virusses and carry them. This could also explain why only certain species are dying; some species are probably more vunereable to the… sickness?.. then others…
Got no evidence, have no idea if there’s evidence against but for me this sounds the likeliest…
Well, it isn’t neccessarily easy for viruses to spread between birds and fish, but on this kind of scale, we would see more widespread areas affected, rather than small pockets of populations. Also, the fact that all the dead animals (except for the cows) basically had their insides pulverized in some sort of blunt force trauma, I think that can rule out disease (once again, except for the cows.)
Not saying you are wrong, but I’m just providing more information.
Perhaps you could source it, because this is the first I have heard about them being pulverised inside. The only reports I’ve heard have said, there is no evidence of poisoning and only some evidence of stress. I’d have thought something like this would have been very heavily reported. So once again, source please. (I should add, reputable source please, not an arbitrary conspiracy site.)
Run for your lifes, dudes! 
Allso dont forget about the three giant UFOs arond the sun… Going to be a very, very interesting year people. Thank god I kept up with LDing to prepair me spiritualy. Everything is in its right place.
