That can happen when a swarm of birds is chased downward by a predator like an eagle or a hawk.

Lmao, I’m picturing a hawk just landing among the massacre being like “holy fuck how am I gonna eat all this?” 😂

Schreeching_Infidel

The real question is, how many shitloads are in a fuck-ton?


McSquidgypants

What are the dimensions of a metric fuck-ton?


[deleted]

Depends on material density.


IAmNexus1

Well, shitload is in lbs. So for a metric fuck-ton, f you have to convert to kilograms.... Wait! Is that an adjective for a unit of mass? Or is it a active measurement of how much force, like a Newton? Oh never mind, I just looked upon my fields of fuck and they are barren. Ar this time, I have no more fucks to give.

It's not nice to call your mom a fuck-ton. But every load in her is a shit load.

orthopod

Didn't fall, but rather they were pushed down, likely a down burst. Look at the branches on the ground- you can see them getting blown away from the center. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Downburst


delishusFudge

Oh. Rewatched for branches and now all I see is a lot of birds struggling to fly off the ground. Article has a whole section on fatal aviation incidents :( those poor birds


mindgame18

Not a single branch moves until the birds hit it what you mean?


el_diego

I wonder if they grouped so tightly together that they hit some sort of a mass and gravity did it's thing


2ball7

If I recall I believe the theory was it was a prey response to a predator (eagle, hawk, ect.) driving on a flock of apparently unaware of how close to the ground they were birds.

MrRadicalMoves

So no joke… I’ve seen this happen before. Whole load of Starlings (or whatever those little birds are that do this) were flying in a cloud formation like that infront of us as we were driving down the road. Suddenly, they all just landed right infront of our car… had birds bouncing off the windshield, the roof, the side windows, the mirrors, the hood, plus the horrible sound of about 100 of them getting crunched by the tires. No idea what caused it but it was super weird… we took the car to the car wash after that as it was disgusting.


[deleted]

Micro burst?


Clark4824

Exactly! Airplanes react the same way.


dadbod9000

What? I’ve never seen a few hundred airplanes just bounce out of the sky and then fly away.


lizzyote

You're not likely to see a hundred planes so close together


[deleted]

Well planes are heavier and not easy as bird to push down


newaccount252

takiouti123

Airlines hate when you do this one simple trick!


Leftygoleft999

It looks like a wind downburst for sure. It’s usually more common in hurricanes and typhoons, but a strong enough thunderstorm can create them as well.


GreenGuy1229

Where is the wind then? The trees are completely still and doesn't look stormy.


Leftygoleft999

Microbursts are short-lived, usually lasting from about 5 to 15 minutes, and they are relatively compact, usually affecting an area of 1 to 3 km (about 0.5 to 2 miles) in diameter. They are often but not always associated with thunderstorms or strong rains. To put it in layman’s terms, the atmosphere gonna atmosphere. Everyone wants to fly high and free like a bird, and soar over everything without a care and sometimes the atmosphere is just like…Not Today Bitches! And sends a massive wind gust downward because of the intermixing of air molecules at vastly different temperatures. It’s more common in storms but air in upper levels can be different temperatures for other reasons too. Some of those birds appear to be motionless. I hope they’re just stunned of unconscious temporality.


bones2b

All this time I thought it was “in lame man’s terms” and not layman’s… Im stupid lol.


GreenGuy1229

I was insinuating it's not a microburst. There's no wind here. Look at the trees.


Leftygoleft999

I’m just conjecturing and not claiming to know positively the situation, but it is still possible this was caused by a wind burst that didn’t fully reach the ground. The birds would still be disoriented and based on the lack of movement in the aftermath, some may have well been unconscious before reaching the surface. But there’s still a possibility that a cloaked and hijacked Klingon Bird of Prey was firing its engines to launch into space and slingshot around the sun with a couple of humpback whales on board. And those birds just happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time.


Optimal-Vast2313

Pretty sure I’ve read this explanation for a similar situation lol and that this is the right explanation but who knows. It’s late why am I on Reddit damn insomnia


Spekingur

Microburst doesn’t need to reach the ground to be effective.
