THOUSANDS of birds have fallen from the skies over Esperance and no one knows why. Is it an illness, toxins or a natural phenomenon? A string of autopsies in Perth have shed no light on the mystery. All the residents of flood-devastated Esperance know is that their "dawn chorus" of singing birds is missing.
The main casualties are wattle birds, yellow-throated miners, new holland honeyeaters and singing honeyeaters, although some dead crows, hawks and pigeons have also been found.
Wildlife officers are baffled by the "catastrophic" event, which the Department of Environment and Conservation said began well before last week's freak storm.

In case of the Austin bird deaths, it was intentional poisoning. This sounds different.

Does this happen and we are just not aware of it? The media doesn't pick up on it? Or is this actually something new like is being implied?

A string of autopsies [necropsies] in Perth have [has] shed no light on the mystery.

Signs and wonders....end times maybe?

"fall", not "drop".
I wouldn't bother, but you have to pay for that song running through my head now.
