By midnight, more than 1,000 red-winged blackbirds had fallen in one area of the city of Beebe.
The birds could have been hit by lightning or high-altitude hail, said AFGC ornithologist Karen Rowe.
About 65 dead birds have been sent off for scientific analysis to determine the cause of death.
It does not appear as though the birds were poisoned
Severe weather over Arkansas could be the cause of the mystery deaths "Since it only involved a flock of blackbirds and only involved them falling out of the sky, it is unlikely they were poisoned, but a necropsy is the only way to determine if the birds died from trauma or toxin," she said.
Tornadoes swept through Arkansas and neighbouring states on 31 December, killing seven people.
However, the AFGC did not say whether the blackbird deaths could also be attributed to the storms.City authorities have hired a specialist waste-disposal firm to collect the dead birds from gardens and rooftops, and dispose of them
Rep and Thank post would be Nice

So you wish to blame fireworks for the death of 1000 birds? Is this a regular occurrence? on the 5th of November (4th of July for you Americans) do you remember waking up each year seeing dead birds lining the road and roof of every house? Didn't think so.

What's more, more than 5 billion birds die of natural causes in the United States each year, so it is, in a way, unusual that Americans don't witness more major bird kills."
