I'm sure you may have heard about many of these birds falling out of the sky in Arkansas, Louisiana and now in Sweden for no apparent reason.
In addition, millions of fish are now dieing all over the world. What exactly is going on here, and why isn't the media and "professionals" getting to the bottom of this?

Our environments have become stressed in many different ways, some of which we aren't even aware of but which ultimately we are probably causing.
In the case of the fish, I'd say a virus. The birds? Possibly fireworks. They roost in groups by night and a salvo of fireworks suddenly blowing up all around them would kill them. Put them in shock.

Whales and dolphins die en masse when in the vicinity of Submarines using sonar. It destroys their hearing. Who knows what the government is secretly playing with?

Don't be too quick to dismiss a natural explanation.

I know realistically, that this is natural and relatively normal.

But the romantic in me is daydreaming about humanity's demise.

Edit: Not because I'm a gothy creep, but because I find "importance" romantic.

massive fish die-offs are not an unheard of occurrence.

Could be environmental factors, toxins, human creations like fireworks or whatever...

My money is on invisible spacecraft, hanging around for observation or perhaps eventual destruction/enslavement of mankind (MAYBE IN 2012 INDEED!). Flocking birds crash into them, as though they were just great big windows, fall to the ground dead or stunned.

I'm still working on a theory for the fish.

(Is she serious? We may never know Wink )

The answer is simple. They are falling out of the sky because they want to be next to you.

"Why do birds fall out of the sky
Whenever you walk by?
Just like me
They want to be
CLOSE TO YOU"

Reminds me of this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=re-6eOhrejE
