Mass bird 'suicides' in India. Records dating back to 1905.

Jatinga, where birds commit suicide?
ATN - November 4th, 2010 - Category: News

Haflong (Assam), Nov 4 (IANS) The tranquillity of Jatinga, a scenic village nestling among the Borail Hills range, is shattered every night by a disturbing occurrence – the ‘mass suicide’ of hundreds of birds.

The ‘suicide’, however, is just a part of the mystery. The more baffling question is why birds fly after sunset at all, as reserach shows that most birds are diurnal, that is, active only during the day.

The late Salim Ali, the country’s pre-eminent ornithologist, too was struck by this oddity. ‘The most puzzling thing to me about this phenomenon is that so many species of diurnal resident birds should be on the move when, by definition, they should be fast asleep. The problem deserves a deeper scientific study from various angels,’ he had written.

Some bird specialists attribute the phenomenon to the electro-magnetic forces of Jatinga, which is surrounded by geographical faultlines all round. But no conclusive evidence has emerged till now.

Part of their migrations are guided by the Earth's magnetic lines of force. I think that more of this will occur. Not good stuff.

I know that I've always been able to feel ley lines, even before I knew what they were, and sometimes they feel good and sometimes I am very disoriented by them. I can literally get lost in a parking lot from the disorientation, I also zap out EKG machines, nerve conduction tests, watches stop on me all the time, etc. due to this electrical/magnetic "thing" I have in me. I can well imagine flying the wrong way if I was a bird ... :/

pre-eminent ornithologist thinks a difficult science problem should be studied by angels.

Angels already know and aren't telling.
