For The Dead Birds II
Anybody smell a cover-up?
Experts at Texas A&M are saying the dozens of birds found dead along Congress Avenue last week died of natural causes -- parasites and dropping temperatures. The results, following 9 bird-topsies, jibe with authorities' assertion that it wasn't the Avian Flu. But here's what doesn't track: they seemed to think last week that the birds had been poisoned. And they kept saying there had been no changes in weather that would've led to such a dramatic bird-kill.

What did you expect from the Aggie 'experts'? They just recently discovered that birds could fly.

Anyone else think it was too coincidental that the birds randomly died on the day of the Miami dock scare, the MO gas leak, and the chemical cloud over Houston?
Seems fishy to me...

Nope - it was mass suicide in protest of yet another term with Rick Perry, Governor...

Cover up? No. Inadequate investigation/idiots? YES. Parasites don't have expiration dates. Why would these birds all drop dead at the same time? But only on a small section of the same street? And if this were "dropping temperatures" related, why didn't we see birds falling out of the sky during the ice storm that followed?

Not to mention the fact that they were acting weirdly and running into brick walls.
I'm no expert, but that doesn't sound like the act of parasites.
I mean, I'm just saying.
