CTV - Dozens of pigeons found dead on farm near Quebec City

Published: 7 January 2011

Reports of dead birds falling from the sky have made headlines across the world this week, and now authorities are investigating a similar mystery near Quebec City after a farmer found about 80 dead pigeons on his property… David Bird, a McGill wildlife biologist, doesn't expect the lab results will be all that dramatic.

"It's not abnormal to have bird flocks die in large numbers," he said. "I can tell you right now it isn't a death ray from an alien space ship, It's not a biblical prophecy coming true. It's none of those things at all."
