Are dead birds a precursor to New Madrid Quake
A lot of speculation on this since the Beebee AK mass die off of 3000 black birds.
Since then a lot of reports of other die offs around the New Madrid seismic zone.
A couple compelling points.
Birds are sensitive to methane gas and gas release is hypothesized as a precusor to major quakes.
Last year in Italy, it was successful in predicting a quake.
A swarm has been underway since September 26 miles away from Beebee.
A 3.8 quake occured in Indiana a few weeks.
New Madrid is over due and USGS is concerned.

Mw 2.7 quake in Guy.
Seems like they are getting a bit stronger.

Never heard of this (until now). Definitely makes one think twice.

"The dead starlings were found in a downtown area where they had been congregating instead of migrating for the winter."
That sentence is interesting. Maybe their biological clock is having technical difficulties!

Very detailed study by Univ Ill, Va Tech, & GW Univ published a little over 1 year ago:

Interesting that FEMA put out a RFI on Thursday for pre-packaged meals to feed 7 million survivors of a New Madrid Quake for 10 days.
