VIDEO: Watch As Massive Flock Of Birds Fall To Their Death In Mexico

Straight out of an eerie scene from a Hitchcock movie, scores of birds suddenly out of nowhere could be seen falling from the sky on a fairly calm day, many plummeting to their death.

The strange event was captured on a home security camera in the city of Cuauhtemoc in Chihuahua, Mexico. The footage showed a rush of hundreds of yellow-headed blackbirds in a flash spiralling out of control to the ground in a residential neighbourhood during the early-morning hours of 18th February 2022.

Many of the discombobulated birds were able to quickly gain flight again and take off, but others died after crashing into houses, cars and each other or hitting the pavement hard with great speed.

Residents came out of their homes later that morning to find to their surprise dozens of dead bird carcasses littering the street in the Alvaro Obregón neighbourhood. People immediately began posting videos of the dead birds on social media.

It remains a mystery as to what exactly caused scores of birds to suddenly drop in a flash from the sky, although many locals and experts have speculated what might have disoriented or scared the birds to such an extent.

The weather at the time of the incident was rather calm with temperatures in the mid-40s.

A local veterinarian who was called in by authorities to examine the scene speculated that the birds may have become overwhelmed and disoriented from inhaling toxic fumes or coming into contact with electrical power lines that overloaded and unleashed a massive “electric discharge,” forcing them to plummet, according to local media outlet Reporte Cuauhtémoc.
