This incident happened in Luisiana
Large die offs of animals are not unusual in nature, and happen for a variety of reasons including bad weather, disease, and poisonings. At least ten billion birds in North America. And there could be as much as 20 billion and almost half die each year due to natural causes. Most of the birds found on Louisiana Highway. The species is one of the most common in the United States. & They all are red-winged blackbirds.

Weather could be the culprit. High-altitude hail or lightning might have hit the birds, which caused them to fall from the sky???
Scientist said there was no sign that they had died from diseases such as bird flu...
Not only that The Louisiana bird die-off came just a few days after up to 5,000 blackbirds fell to earth in neighbouring Arkansas in the small town of Beebe...!!!!
More than 80,000 drum fish had suddenly died in the state's Arkansas river & it's about 100 miles west of Beebe.
The silvery bodies of the fish floated in the river and washed up on its sides having died at roughly the same time.
