Some alarming news surfaced in Canada last week, when more than 50 black birds suddenly dropped dead out of the sky over Winnipeg, Manitoba, on August 7th, according to the CBC. The birds, which were later confirmed to be grackles, reportedly began flocking together by the thousands over cars and buildings in the city's north end. Frightened residents reported seeing the birds acting "dizzy" before abruptly plummeting out of the sky, as the CBC reported. At least 11 birds were found on the ground alive and taken in by the Winnipeg Humane Society, but they too couldn't stand or fly and were later euthanized.
