Health officials in Massachusetts are trying to figure out what caused dozens of birds to fall out of the sky onto a Boston street.

City officials say 47 grackles were found Thursday in the city’s Dorchester neighborhood.

Some were found dead, while others were just sick.

The Animal Rescue League of Boston says it went to the neighborhood after residents reported birds falling from the sky and a sick cat. The cat was later euthanized.

The birds that died will be sent to Tufts University for testing.

The Associated Press contributed to this article.

    This story is hard to believe when the author can not distinguish between a grackle and a redwing black bird. You really checked this one out! Another example of great investigative reporting!!!! Go liberal media!!!!!

      You are half right about the identity of these birds. It’s not a grackle it is a starling and a red-winged black bird.

      Re-read the article, dozens of birds, 47 grackles. The article does not state all the birds were grackles. The question is what the fck caused this. Why was the cat sick and what line of crap will be fed. Will MSM even report this. Are there any investigative reporters left? What cockamamie cowpie story will even be run?

      “City officials say 47 grackles were found Thursday”

      The author didn’t determine they were grackles, the city did.

    These ‘thehornnews’ stories seem straight out of Highlights magazine- for children to read. There is no research. What is the story here?

      Since this just happened exactly what kind of research do you expect. Are you volunteering to jump on that research immediately? Gonna give up your day job to do it and report hourly on your progress. Just another “give it to me right now what are you waiting for kinda person”.

      Don-
      Why are you Know It Alls not journalists?

      Probably because they’re honest and have integrity; today’s “journalists” sell their souls for their daily bread, and most subscribe to the “MSU” theory – Make Shit Up.
