What happened in Cuauhtémoc?
On February 7, around 5 a.m., hundreds of birds collapsed on the ground of this Mexican city located in the state of Chihuahua, reports the meteorological site
Tameteo,
relayed by

.
The scene, both impressive and strange, was recorded by a CCTV camera.
The images then went around social networks, provoking many reactions, between astonishment and amazement.
Several hypotheses mentioned
In these images, we see a flock of several hundred birds flying in a deserted street.
Suddenly, the group gets dangerously close to the ground and hundreds of birds end up collapsing on the road for no apparent reason.
In a second video, we can distinguish the inert bodies of the birds that have fallen.
These are yellow-headed cowbirds from Canada, which migrated to Mexico.
Witnesses to the scene, many residents immediately alerted the police.
A zootechnical veterinarian was sent on site to collect initial information.
According to him, the birds could have succumbed to the inhalation of toxic gases.
But a sudden increase in the voltage in the power lines could also have caused a sudden death of these birds.
An autopsy should be performed to determine the precise causes of this strange death.
