I just read this article on the shifting on the magnetic poles. I think this is the explanation for all those birds dying en mass lately.
As you may know, birds use the magnetic fields of the Earth to guide themselves. The Earth's field allows birds to maintain the proper altitude needed for different distances, in order to fly in the most efficient way.
So what are the effects on birds when the poles are shifting?
First off, not all birds are affected, and the effects affect only certain areas (I will explain why and where).
The affected birds will travel shorter distances in greater time and, in the case of migratory birds, never arrive to their destination. They also have to rely on their eyesight much more than ever because they can't trust magnetic fields that are shifting.
During the night however, if birds are startled and fly (except for nocturnal birds) they will follow the shifting magnetic fields right into the ground because they can not see.
Given the direction of the magnetic pole shift, this anomaly only affects one part of the world. Right now being the southern US. So the shifting of the poles will have an effect on a constantly shifting part of the world.
This anomaly has an opposite effect on the opposite side of the globe, for now being northen Europe. Here, the birds are flying high up until they become exhausted and plummet to their deaths from exhaustion and lack of O2. See: Birds dying in mass in Sweeden.
