8,000 Turtle Doves Fall Out of the Sky, Dead! A New Theory Emerges.

8,000 turtle doves in Italy are the latest victims of the latest death epidemic that seems to be sweeping the world.

The worldwide mass deaths of animals isn't over yet, as was made quite clear to the residents of Faenza, Italy when 8,000 turtle doves came crashing dead out of the sky. Upon examining the corpses, scientists discovered that the birds had a blue stain around their beaks. 

In birds, blue stains on the beak usually means the bird had either been affected by hypoxia, or been poisoned. Hypoxia is "an inadequacy in the oxygen reaching the body's tissues." It is a condition that mainly occurs in mountainous regions, or other areas of high altitude. Hypoxia generally causes dizziness, lack of coordination, fatigue, and confusion. 

One of the very common theories going around is that cold weather is causing all of these animals to die. 

A New Theory for these Events

A recent theory suggests that the magnetic shifting of the poles could be what is messing up the birds' navigation systems, which rely on magnetism. The inner navigation systems of fish are believed to work in the same way as that of a bird's. The magnetic poles are shifting 25 miles per year.

This is a map of all the recent mass deaths.

I will keep you updated.
