Now the Aflockalypse has spread to Sweden: Dead jackdaws fall out of the sky

More and more animals are being found dead as the mysterious spate of mass bird and fish deaths has turned into a global phenomenon. Experts were today carrying out tests on around 50 jackdaws found dead in a street in Falkoping, Sweden, that appear to have suffered the same fate as thousands of their cousins who fell from the sky in separate incidents in the U.S. Swedish experts have said the shock of fireworks being let off near the city, in the south-east of the country, and difficulty finding food may have led to the deaths of the jackdaws. Many of the birds are believed to have died from stress or as a result of being run over by vehicles while disoriented. (Daily Mail)
