Climate change is a harsh reality we have to accept. With climatic change in tow, people have been witnessing some of the most bizarre cases where it's raining fishes or blood, and a whole lot of mysterious happenings.

This concern, was once again, raised after people witnessed a sudden death of over 60 native birds of South Australia.
Check out more details of this incident.
It is reported that around 60 native birds of South Australia died and fell out of the sky in front of horrified onlookers. The incident happened near a sports ground in Adelaide. The authorities believe that this could be a case of mass poisoning.
People who watched the birds fall to death revealed that the scene looked like "something out of a horror movie!"
An eyewitness named Sarah King, who is also the founder of Casper's Bird Rescue (a charity based in Adelaide, dedicated to protecting the welfare of birds) revealed that one of her staff discovered the birds.
The locals, further, revealed that only two or three birds that fell were actually deceased while the rest were screaming on the ground and writhing in pain. The poor birds couldn't fly anymore as they were bleeding from their eyes and beaks.
At
least
57
of
the
birds
were
long-billed
corellas,
which
is
a
protected
species,
reported
the
BBC.
The
sources
reveal
that
the
type
of
poison
that
was
used
to
kill
the
birds
was
believed
to
have
given
them
a
"horrific,
slow
death",
which
apparently
takes
weeks
to
kill
them.

It
is
said
that
the
vets
are
preparing
a
toxicology
report,
but
the
results
are
not
yet
completed.
It
is
said
that
these
species
of
birds
found
in
large
flocks
in
urban
and
rural
areas,
can
cause
major
problems
as
they
can
cause
damage
to
built
infrastructure
like
buildings,
stobie
poles
(power
line
pole
made
of
two
steel
joists
held
apart
by
a
slab
of
concrete),
lights
or
even
timber
structures
and
sporting
equipment,
etc.
They
also
cause
significant
damage
to
vegetation
like
trees
and
crops.
It is also rumoured that this might be one of the reasons as to why the birds were poisoned to death.
