1,000+ dead birds found in Sikeston, Missouri, USA #Birds #Sikeston #Missouri #USA

More than 1,000 dead birds found on the west side of Sikeston are believed to be from the weather.

“I haven’t seen anything like this before,” said resident Gwineth Pearson, who came home to find her grandfather cleaning up the mess.

“My grandpa was like, ‘something happened.’ I was like, ‘what?’ And then he said, ‘well, there is just a ton of dead birds everywhere.’ And he picked up about 60. He had trash bags just full of dead birds,” Pearson said.

Animal control officials reached out to the Missouri Department of Conservation. Those officials say it was likely Sunday’s storm that knocked the birds out of the air.
