5000 Birds Die From Fireworks? (A pyrotechnician commentary)

[cheesynerd117]

Even if that many birds where flying at that exact high at night (not common at all, hard to see) the sound and light of the fireworks would scare them away from the area. Not possible.

[tommilkybarkid]

They poison their food source to cull them if there gets to many, and as 5000 died at once, there must have been tens of thousands eating crops :P

[JKDMultix]

More like a cover story for some sort of chemical spillage in the birds food source and they used an easy escape goat at the time FIREWORKS!!!! typical media and governmental bodies.

there no way a shock wave from fireworks could do that

[mdfaella]

Impossible that fireworks was the cause. I doubt that many birds would be flying around at night. No doubt scientists would have investigated and have lab results on the birds AND fish as to the cause of death for everyones safety. Also, the detonation of the shell probably wouldn't leave much of the bird carcass around unless we're talking about decibels or shock waves, which doesn't make sense to anyone with half a brain.

[papiecho18]

i heard there was a sloar flare emp waves from that on dec 31 2010

[favoritescollection]

Hmmm... yet anopther example of how the government is lying to people (of which the media is their favorite tool for propaganda). Common sence will tell you that, if their story is true, there would therefore be birds dead ALL OVER THE WORD, because people celebrate New Year's Eve globally! Soooo... there would have been birds falling out of the sky over the entire planet, not just in one area. Unfortunately for them, some people are more intelligent and can smell a lie like dog shit on a shoe.

[asdercks]

i think haarp is to be blame or some kind of electromagnetic weapon that the goverment is using or how about chemtrails

[fireworkcrazykid93]

Honestly over here in Liverpool the only thing i came across when i was shooting fireworks was a few dogs barking and the odd cat running across the street. Never anything dies from fireworks :/ theres a lot of other things that could of done this not just fireworks.

[linniejt]

It was methane gas from the new madrid fault. That would explain the fish too. The new madrid fault is becoming active. Birds are used in mines to detect methane gas because they are so sensative to it. it can kill a bird and we may not even get a wiff of it. Why they wont just say it is beyond me. Maybe they dont want everyone to panic. The New madrid fault runs through Missouri, Arkansas, Tennessee, Kentucky and Illinois. Talk to people on that fault line and see what they have to say.

[FeakForJ3sus247]

I live in Arkansas and the news report was that the fireworks scared the birds and the birds all flew into eachother. That's why they just kinda fell out of the sky dead. I'm not sure about that story though.

[thedisruptor3000]

Reine Propaganda der Regierung!!

Warum sind in den letzten Jahren zu Silvester keine Vögel vom Himmel gefallen??

Haben die Leute etwa kein Silvester in den letzten Jahren gefeiert??

Vielleicht, weil es garnichts damit zu tun hat??

Vielleicht, weil die Regierung wieder irgend etwas getestet hat, was die Bevölkerung nicht wissen darf?? Man weis es nicht..

Das einzige was ich weis ist, das es nichts mit Pyrotechnik zu tun hat..

[nrubmx]

i think this is complete bs because DOES THIS EVER HAPPEN ON 4TH OF JULY? NOOO!!!!!!! and in louisiana like 3 days after this there was a town that had over 1000 of the same birds dead.

[kevinmeehan71]

hold on there arent birds afraid of fireworks so shouldnt they fly away?

[scipelayo]

Hopefully they have a benign reason behind lying to us. Maybe some technology they're testing out.

[RealMemoryDecay]

BULLSHIT. I am a pyro myself and have shot fireworks my whole life and never on a 4th of July has this happened, and far more people shoot fireworks on the 4th and the few on New Years. And fireworks don't kill the birds, not even the smoke they just fly away from it, I am awake to the plans of the NWO and it was either a work from them or simply from the oil spill and the birds ate fish that were contaminated or something, or it can be a bird flu or something we aren't being told about.

[lightfire33]

same thing happened in sweden lots of birds just dropped out of the sky. nothing to do with fireworks

[RoyVuurwerk]

watch?v=uu3VCrX4Jto

Is all I can say about this.

[MegaToren]

Its called: NEW WORLD ORDER. Look it up people. The whole thing is a sham.

[L33tP1ckL]

Leave it to the liberals to not only perfect, but wear out beyond any form of recognition, the debate technique commonly know as 'crying wolf'. AKA: No matter how wrong you are, keep digressing from the actual subject at hand and try to sound really passionate whilst doing so. 

[808kalihi808]

where i live on oahu , alot of illegal fireworks go up at 12 o clock for a finale and i see no dead birds

[rivermonsoon]

I hear ya displafireworks1 this is a total disaster. And so much will be covered. Up.. lol.. FIREWORKS. What a fuckin' joke. Wake up people. And that will be the reason that goes on mainstream news for all of the mainstream minds that are dead too. Fish and birds. But sadly people will believe it and not voice anything. Watch! What about the 4th of July in the US.. nothing like this ever happens from fireworks.. lol

[thejokerr96]

where exactly can i buy these "bird killing fireworks?"

[phatdpc]

From Norway; never seen or heard of birds dying from Fireworks. More likely to be from some toxic gas released from random industry area nearby. Timing is right, søke facility dumping waste before the year ends.

[swan714]

no doubt what a bunch of BS! Noway fireworks caused that.

[XTRUTHDRUMSX]

ITS A DAMN GOVERNMENT COVER UP I TELL YA! maybe next we might have a zombie apocolypse! LOAD UP BOYS!

[UraniumSalute]

If someone has fireworks loud enough to kill 5000 birds, I obviously don't know much about good fireworks.

[lasergeak]

birds over here in the netherlands don't fly at night they sleep

[fireworks323]

To be honest i think the government has something to do with it.

[doc1180]

I do not speak English I translated with google. lepeut but I understand the birds are resistant to storms. the detonation of the bomb coming out of the tube made the birds fled with the explosion takes place in the sky. Besides that if birds are dying because of fireworks they found traces of burns? It would be overcharged analysis on their feathers to see if there is no residue or gas products. Finally I've never seen a single animal being hurt or killed because of fireworks.

[Camera2Studios]

I thought it was interesting that it seems to be only one species of bird that died.

[nielsch06]

It's indeed a retarded explanation..!

In the Netherlands everybody goes insane at 12 o'clock with fireworks since everybody has full permission to buy and lit them. We're talking about 68 million euro's of fireworks in a matter of 1 hour, in total it must be a thousand ton (don't know the actual number, but police yearly confiscate between 60 to 100 ton of illegal fireworks so legal fireworks must be a multitude of that)

And still:

No dead birds falling from the sky, ever!

[Caspertheguitarguy]

@nielsch06 That's right! I'm from the Netherlands as well, and have never seen any dead birds falling from the sky! And I think it's even more tons of fireworks than that, like 1650 tons!

[pukkelpop74]

@nielsch06 HEHE 'K ZAG NET OP'T NIEUWS DAT ER ALLEMAAL DODE VOGELS UIT DE LUCHT ZIJN GEVALLEN:s

[worldinventions]

The government dose some wierd stuff. Crap we will never know about, trust me.

[kd6101]

I think some factory or chemical plant released some kind of poison gas into the air. it happens once in while around places like Dow corning plant in Michigan. it 's not enough to bother humans because the gas rises and when birds fly into it they die. I believe thats what happened there, they just don't want to alarm the people. well that's my thoughts on it. Thank you and Dave keep the video's coming and keep up the good work!!!

[discrepancy666]

There are approved cases of fish and toads and stuff falling from the sky, they say that it is caused by tiny tornados above water that suck fish out of the water and get carried away by the jet winds very high up in the sky and can drop everywhere, that could also explain the dead fish you were talking about...

the story of the birds is in our newspapers too (europe), they say that people heard bird bangers going off that farmes set up on their fields... the second theory is chainlightning.

[tigrisnakkana]

Holy shit, i always check the news here in sweden after i check youtube, but look at this aftonbladet se It's in swedish, but look at the top story.

[boravw1]

when birds hear explosions, they fly away! you have to think when the military drops real artillery it doesn't kill birds, and why would fish die?

[boravw1]

have you seen the show FLASHFORWARD! cause im prepping for that excuse now

[jonxjet]

Anyone check for 'chem-trails'

[Jasonsenipor]

Sounds like the goverment is testing something new.

Wouldn't be the first time they did it.

There been dead birds falling from the sky in many areas and days after new years eve.

Also the fish that been washing up pretty much confirms that it's not fireworks releated but some kind of chemicals that they are testing out on animals.

[itsbone141]

So how did they died? Fireworks couldn't do this, for sure.

People shoot fireworks all year long, since sooo many years - and suddenly fireworks are to blame?

I've never heared such a thing. My guess is that it is weather related.

[ShadowReubenKee]

From Sweden here (Scandinavia/Europe). I just seriously doubt (I am a sceptic...) that fireworks could've caused this. It is weird, but there is no way in hell that fireworks could've caused this. 5,000 birds is too much for one small city. And that thing about fish is just... fishy. Fireworks can't cause death in seas or lakes as far as I know. NOT to that sort of magnitude at least.

[pyroworldwebsite]

this news about this massive dead of birds was also here in Holland on the news. Here also fireworks or a massive thunder strike was blaming for this. I dont belive it was fireworks. For my self i think some thunderstorm or so is the couse of this massive dead of birds

[propyropower]

well,whole america floats on poiseniss metals (toxic)

it's a truth that will expand instead of reduce since money seems to be priority number 1.

im exspecting this to happen alot in the future ;(

[pyr0ph1L]

I live in Denmark and I have never heard of such a thing happening because of fireworks. Maybe it's because that we usually shoot fireworks in the winter, where all our birds have gone to the warmer places LOL.

[jumpcraker]

Hi dave my names ken and I'm from the uk a few years back in 2007 I think it was 200 or so birds died from something and nobody knew what it was however a few months later they found out it was from toxic water in a lake near a factory I think that the birds had drank that killed them Mabey that happened to these birds aswell and people are just blaming fireworks

[airs0ftMARIZON]

wow that is really a weird and though how they come to blame fireworks?

like said in the comments down below a pyrotechnic consumer burst charge isnt deadly enough.

anyways i hope we'll get the real story

thank you dave

[oahuguy]

some jackass put poison on some bird seed and fed the birds a day before nye.cant wait to shoot one of those underwater cakes that kill all the fish lmao.

[Hussar72]

nothing over here in denmark there is a lot at the day but people say the birds fly south in the winter but i have never seen anything on the sky other then fireworks at new years evening

[PyroCreationZ]

Hahaha c'mon now... that's just plain BS. First of all 5000 in just one town? That alone makes the story unbelievable. Second, I've seen pigeons die in demolitions (mainly bridges) but this is because the explosives are planted and the birds go sit on the bridge afterwards. When they press the button some of them die (not all, even if they sit on the bridge). With fireworks this is different as fireworks are being shot in the air so birds don't have time to "sit" in the air. Even if one would

[PyroCreationZ]

@PyroCreationZ

fly close to it I doubt they would die from such small explosion. The force of fireworks is nowhere near those of explosive charges. So either the whole bird dying report is made up or there's something else going on. Same for the fishes.

[PyroCreationZ]

@PyroCreationZ

One more thing, I've once seen a bird fly very close to fireworks at a display and did he die? No, he just flew off. There is just no way that many birds die from fireworks. Maybe if they were shooting 48 inchers only in that town lol. Seriously, the story is BS.

[fredooor]

this was in the news in germany...

[featherdude]

Sounds unlikely to me. I've attended many displays. Sometimes I've heard birds shuffling around in trees when a display begins or even fly a short distance. After a few seconds their activity always stops.

[BANDITpyro]

1000 birds in pointe coupee parish louisiana drop dead 1/3/2011

[HandMadeFireworks]

As the autopsy of the birds show evidence of massive blunt force trauma, I vote for hail...

[hendl55]

Why should the firework kill the birds and fishs only in this town ?

Every place in the world the people shoot fireworks but anywhere the fishs and birds died

[SevereIDAHO]

I am seriously questioning why sources would say that this is the result of fireworks or weather. For one, Severe weather happens all the time. 5 thousand birds dont die everytime severe weather happens. Its the same for fireworks, except fireworks happen on a much larger scale on July 4th and New Years and well, we all know that they never killed a large amount of birds or fish.

This story has my attention. Really interested to hear the real cause.

[SeriouSXXFireworks]

Cant be fireworks because they just found more birds today including fish!! There was tons of fireworks around here on new years, i see no dead birds or fish!! The gov is fuckin lieing people!!!

[monster5450]

fireworks are to blame? what a bunch of bullshit! honestly i think its the gvernment fucking around with some new toy! assholes always mess up and blame something else.

[lightfusegetaway]

When someone said it was fireworks, my BS detector went off. They reported the cause of death as internal hemorrhaging. It would require very close proximity to an explosion to cause that, and it would probably burn them to a crisp. Now we have another dead flock of birds in Louisiana.

[scars187]

yea I killed them birds with a taco bell fart and them fish well i had to pee. sorry

[FrododEEcor]

In germany we are well informed about this happening but nobody says that the cause was definitely the shooting of fireworks.

[phenixking300]

i think the real cause was a tornado that came and picked up the birds then dropped them

[Gmc42082]

it was probably lighting, either that or this is a sign of the apocalypse!

[batterymaker]

Fireworks responsible for mass bird deaths? That's about as bad as blaming "swamp gas" for UFO sightings back in the Sixties......

[getlow1985]

I think its a ufo in the sky and the birds flew into the spaceship. haha

[Blueace12345]

I dont think it would be impossible to kill a bird, or even a few per big show, or even with a well timed shot take out a dozen flying in formation, but to say that some backyard fireworks was responsible for as many as 5k dead birds at 1 time is asinine. I mean seriously when have you ever heard of anything about dead birds and fireworks before this, so to say the 2 are in any way related is to say well we dont have any other explanation, so fireworks did it. They might as well blame unicorns

[layerba714]

well it happened crying wont get them back to life

[PyroPortrayal]

Your absolutely right Dave. I personally believe it was the government testing a high powered energy weapon. I would assume it was a meteor that blew up in mid-air, but noone in town heard a sound!

They found that the bird's chest and liver were collapsed! Firework do not do that to 5000 birds... Idiots, they think this explanation will make everything ok?

[Monk3yman77]

It's not really the theory of the birds being struck by fireworks. That's absurd. The idea that a firework explosion could have gone off near, or in a roost that these birds were in. A big/loud explosion could definitively cause the birds to be started enough to either die from being frightened (heart attack sort of) or in their frenzy, hitting other birds, houses, trees, etc. Also poison would be easy to rule out since almost all the birds dead were of one species.

[Geminimissions]

Sounds like the military covering up for biological weapons.... lol ;)

[frosty956]

Sounds like rubbish, did they all die 'at once', probably not. Probably a poisoning or something. Whats is the chance a firework would hit a bird? pretty low. Whats the chance youd get 5000 chance hits in one night, almost zero...

[stinkpotbaby]

I haven'/t seen birds flying around at 9:30 PM, nor have I had a pile of birds drop on me while I've been looking up at the fireworks. To me, the anti-fireworks nut cases are the politicians who don't support America and our brave troops. I suspect there ae more than a few real Americans who would like to see the corrupt politicians fall from the sky and splatter on the ground. God bless America.

[cory8791]

i bet that more birds die from bb guns then that lol lol lol lol lol

[Hawkgx28Pyro]

Maybe 50 birds at the most and depends on the type of fireworks if it is a class B then it is more plausible but personally I have never seen any fireworks kill any birds. I don't believe the story that fireworks did that. Maybe 5 of them could of died from fireworks but if you ever notice animals know when things are going to explode or I mean they sense danger and right away they leave that area.

[Jerrycobra]

maybe someone sent up a barrage of bottle rockets and it landed target, according to the news all the birds died within a square mile area, nothing was found outside it.

[Dasdfjkl]

I laughed out loud when that guy said they probably had heart attacks from someone igniting fireworks near their roost. To funny. And not possible. In my opinion they ate contaminated water or food. The scientists will figure it out and let the world know what happened.

[Ralphgtx280]

never had any dead animals of any kind accept for the beetle that scared one of the shooters and got ruberbanded to a rocket

[salvadory]

i dont beleive it was fireworks but the idea is the loud noise(perhaps a bottlerocket as this flock was seen roosting in a tree nearby) scared this particular flock of blackbirds who fly in many thousand tight formation in a flock- they avoid flying at night so thats why when they took off they hit each other and trees houses etc- i once found about a dozen dead robins july 5th after a big fireworks display near my home- but here i dont buy it as other states are reporting dead birds

[yamikiAbramovic]

Well i have two theories on this one drum fish and birds communicate and through navigation through our magnetic field meaning they travel and tell direction through electromagnetic pulses our earth was hit by a magnetic storm that came from the sun it could have possibly made the drum fish beach them selves on shore thinking they were going the right way and possibly made birds run into each other during flight of course this is very creditable as well but its just my theory.

[beast6228]

@yamikiAbramovic It could be so many things, but yes we are currently heading into some major phases of magnetic changes with the atmosphere. The last time we were at our peak was about 15 years ago, this time we are supposed to be affected much worse. A lot of people don't understand how it will affect us, but things like the internet, cell phones and other forms of communication can be knocked out for long periods of time. Sort like what happens when there is a nuclear explosion (EMP effect)

[jakmeoff1]

birds dont usually fly at night, i dont think its got anything to do with fireworks. my friends dad has been shooting fireworks for around 30 years and never had anything like this ever happen and even if the birds were flying at night they would go knowhere near fireworks because of the loud noises. they dont know what happened and they are trying to pin on fireworks. im sure people have been shooting fireworks there for many years and nothing like this ever happened before

i call BS

[frosty956]

@jakmeoff1 They dont usually fly at night, but on NYE here, there were huge flocks of birds (noisy ones, Corellas) flying around that had been disturbed by the loud bangs. But Ive yet to see a dead one.....

[rob18767]

Not fireworks. As the dude says it happened again in Louisiana.

[fireworksman1919]

Nuclear salutes cause it LOL

[beast6228]

It happened again in Louisiana, more birds and fish. It has nothing to do with fireworks, birds usually don't come out at night and if they were out ,they certainly wouldn't be anywhere near loud fireworks. I've been shooting fireworks for over 20 years and I've never seen birds die from fireworks.

[yamikiAbramovic]

@beast6228 Well birds and animals act strange when something horrible is going to happen perhaps its a warning.

[jerrydff7]

ya i say is bull!
