There were many birds flying around the ship the night before \u201cIt was a beautiful night and we couldn\u2019t believe our eyes when we woke up this morning and see so many dead birds all around the ship\u2019s open deck\u201d the crew member says.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cWe wake up with announcements asking to not go to the open decks. To not touch the birds, and to feed them. I thought that the poor birds we\u2019re alive and I didn\u2019t went there. I love animals and I didn\u2019t want to see them and couldn\u2019t help in anything. I still can\u2019t stop to cry and nobody give reasonable explanation\u201d<\/em> says another crew member.<\/p>\n<p>All the crew are stressed from the sight and don\u2019t know how to the birds have died. They say this is the first time they see something like this happening on a cruise ship. Later the dead birds were removed and the decks were thoroughly cleaned.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Hundreds of birds found dead on cruise ship open decks <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/bQFVkP0TL5\">pic.twitter.com\/bQFVkP0TL5<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Crew Center (@CrewCenter) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/CrewCenter\/status\/1254175175572062208?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">April 25, 2020<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>There are many reported incidents and some explanations about the mass deaths of the starling birds. The <strong>Spanish News Media<\/strong> \u201cThe Local\u201d reported of such incident in February this year, when birds were found dead on the tarmac of a highway. The Local says that a similar incident occurred in <strong>Wales<\/strong> wich produced head-scratching amongst local officials before the investigation concluded that the birds had died on impact with the road while trying to escape a predator.<\/p>\n<p>Starlings often flock together in their thousands to form what is known as a murmuration, an amazing sight most often visible just before dusk. But if the group is targeted by a bird of prey, it can send the formation into evasive action which may disorientate the birds and cause fatalities.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/emrabc.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/cruisebirds.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-17643 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/emrabc.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/cruisebirds-1024x428.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"428\" srcset=\"https:\/\/emrabc.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/cruisebirds-1024x428.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/emrabc.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/cruisebirds-300x125.jpg 300w, https:\/\/emrabc.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/cruisebirds-768x321.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"VJ054e3XLB\"><p><a href=\"https:\/\/emrabc.ca\/?p=17235\">Cruise Ships add 1700 WIFI Hotspots<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute;
