We've heard about the dead birds falling out of the sky in Arkansas, Louisianna, Kentucky, California, Sweden, and Italy. Well now it has happened in Yankton, South Dakota. Around 2,000 starlings died but in this case there is no mystery. The United States Department of Agriculture has admitted that they poisoned the birds.
A nearby Nebraska feedlot complained to the USDA that the birds were defecating on its cattle feed so the USDA put out bait containing the toxic poison DRC-1339. Some of the birds ate the poison and then flew over to Yankton where they died. The USDA insists there is no concern about the toxicity being transfered to animals eating the dead birds or to humans.
