Hello everyone,

I just published a piece about a study by a group in the Netherlands,
showing that birds are terrified of fireworks and erupt into flight within
a few seconds of New Year's Eve fireworks shows:

basically, this could explain some of those seemingly mysterious "birds
falling dead from the sky" events that we read about every New Year's day
anymore.

please do feel free to share with your friends and family on facebook,
twitter and other social media.

happy new year.
