What killed hundreds of dead birds found on a Rotorua central city street? Nobody seems to know.Rotorua mother Glyssa Bosworth was walking down Amohau St this week when her 1-year-old daughter pointed out a bird on the ground.Then she saw a few more."I could smell something absolutely horrific," Miss Bosworth told The Daily Post.She turned around and saw "hundreds" of them on the ground around the base of a tall tree in the reserve near the entrance to the Central Mall.She said she had never seen that many dead birds before."There was a humongous pile of them. It was gross."At first Miss Bosworth thought they were bats, as a few years ago there were reports of bats in some nearby trees. Then she realised they were sparrows.She thought perhaps bats were killing the birds, or the birds had been poisoned.Rotorua District Council's regulatory services manager Jim Nicklin said the council was at a loss to explain the dead birds.The council had reports of the dead birds on Amohau St and believed they had died last Friday.There were two clean-ups of birds over the long weekend."Over Saturday and Sunday a contractor for the council picked up approximately 300 dead sparrows," Mr Nicklin said.He said on Monday, when Castle Corp staff were doing some mowing on the reserve, they found more dead birds and picked them up.He said the council did not know why the dead sparrows were there, but he thought it could have been something to do with the stormy weather experienced over that weekend.

    Untold thousands of marine animals float dead in Amazon river & Florida

     

    February 4, 2011 MATO GROSSO DO SUL/AMAZON Region At Aquidauana, pantanal region of the Mato Grosso do Sul state, shoals of painteds, pacus, golden fishes, cacharas – and even stingrays, are floating dead in Rio Negro, one of the largest in the Amazon River basin. The estimated Environmental Policy is of that several tons of fishes died, adding that the authorities and experts, they still do not have the scale of the ecological disaster. Biologist of the State Institute of the Environment, Robert Gill Machado, noted the phenomenon, considered of great proportion, after flying over the region of sub-basin of Rio Negro. At this place fishing is banned. The area is considered one of the nurseries of fish breeding of the Pantanal. According to the technicians of the Institute the symptoms that occur in this case are the same symptoms of other instances of the genre. The fish are dying putting their heads out of water trying to obtain air, due to lack of oxygen in the water. This deficiency is due to the large volume of ash produced by burned, which is carried by runoff along riverbeds of the wetland. However, the idea of blaming the ashes of forest burn has no rationale. The residents of the region, they don’t believe in this theory. -BWN
    Florida SEBASTIAN, Fla. — Thousands of dead fish have washed up at Sebastian Inlet State Park according to WPBF u local user jhazel. Jhazel uploaded the photos Friday morning. In them, Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission officials said they believe a lack of oxygen is what killed the bait fish. “Just because there’s such a large school of them, they use up the oxygen really quickly, and because they are coming closer to shore, there’s not as high of a water turnover rate sometimes when you’re in an area with not as much tidal flow,” said Kelli O’Donnell with FWC. “I saw the fish jumping out there and I thought it was going to be a really good day for fishing, and then I noticed over here in the surf that they’re all dead,” fisherman Jeff Johnson told WPBF 25 News. FWC biologists arrived to assess the situation and take water samples as people watched. “It’s a little shocking, yes,” Johnson said. “I don’t know if there’s chemicals in the water or the temperatures that caused this.” -MSNBC
