When they first realised what had happened, the people living in the Cumberland County town of Millville were, understandably, left baffled. They said it was like something out of a film.

In one street alone residents found at least 80 birds - mostly red-winged blackbirds - on the ground dead having fallen from trees and the sky.

One neighbour even said she saw the birds falling out of the air.

'Crazy - something out of a movie,' Michelle Cavalieri, who saw the birds fall from the sky, told NBC.

The birds that fell in Millville caused a bloody mess on roadways in the residential neighbourhood.

Jim Sinclair said: 'They’d get up and try and fly and they were out of control so they'd crash and fall again. It was just strange.'

Animal control, public health officials and other emergency crews arrived the scene yesterday morning to try and find out exactly what happened.
