Thousands of sparrows mysteriously fell from the sky in Pering Village, Blabatuh District, Gianyar Regency on the island of Bali, Indonesia a few days ago.
According to officials, this is not the first case in Bali or Indonesia. Similar bird mass die-offs also took place five years ago in Denpasar and Tabanan Regency, Bali as well as in Sukabumi, West Java, in July 2021.
Bird carcasses and droppings have been sampled for analysis to determine the cause of the incident.
The sudden death of these thousands of small birds is still unclear. Diseases? Poisoning? Herbicides or pesticides? Weather? What about EMF?
Given the sparrows live in large colonies, the transmission of a disease is fast and furious.
Rapid changes in weather can shock and stress birds, leading to mass die-offs.
Now a new report has found that we’re not the only living things to be affected by our increasing dependence on wireless technology. Mammals, birds, insects and even plants are likely being harmed by the electromagnetic radiation (EMR) emanating from Wi-Fi, cellphone towers, broadcast transmitters and power lines.
The researchers said that “evidence is accumulating that mammals (e.g., bats and mice) have a magnetic sense” that is affected by radio-frequency-modulated electromagnetic fields (RF-EMR). Birds in particular may be highly susceptible. The researchers found that even weak magnetic fields in the radio frequency range can disrupt birds’ magnetoreception, their ability to use the Earth’s magnetic fields to orient themselves and find their way home.
