A Boston neighborhood is puzzled.
Dozens of birds falling from trees to their deaths, along with a dead cat, are
leaving officials guessing what could have caused the inexplicable plague.
"When I arrived, birds would
fly, like from a house to a tree, they would flop in the tree and they would
fall to the ground,"Alan Borgal of the Animal Rescue League of Boston
(ARL) told local NECN news. "The weaker ones were just falling right
out the sky."
Unlike in the cartoons, the chief
suspect in the birds' mystery deaths doesn't seem to be a cat (or even
vice-versa).
A resident called the ARL
Thursday, reporting her cat Sally suddenly falling sick and birds massively
falling from the trees at 33 Bakersfield Street in Boston’s Dorchester
neighborhood.
She described the birds
as “lethargic, trying to roll over, not able to stand up or fly.”
The ARL provided treatment to the
cat, but the feline ended up dying.
“My sister fed her,” Sally’s
owner Willien Pugh told the Boston Herald.“Then like at 8:30 she came to the
door and told me Sally was laying there at the back door, and that was it.
Nobody knows who did it or nothing.”
