Hundreds of migratory birds mysteriously dropped from the sky whilst they were mid-flight in Mexico.
Police were called at around 8.30am on February 7 after residents reported the dead birds strewn across the sidewalk in Alvaro Obregon area of Cuauhtemoc, a city in the state of Chihuahua.
Many of the flock are seen flying away but many dozens were left lying dead on the street.
Local residents began seeing the yellow-headed blackbirds - which travel south to Mexico from Canada in the winter - falling from the sky at around 5am.
A veterinarian who examined the dead blackbirds suggested they could have died as a result of inhaling toxic fumes, perhaps from a heater, or they could have been electrocuted after roosting power lines that became overloaded.
Many viewers on social media have speculated that the incident could be a murmuration that went wrong.
Last week a similar incident occurred 5,000 miles away after 200 birds mysteriously dropped dead from the sky in a seaside village in Wales.
