The Bird Suicide Ground of Jatinga Jatinga is a small village located in India. It is known for it’s Bird Mystery, or a unique phenomena where during these late monsoon months, several migratory and local birds commit mass suicide at the village. Just after sunset, between 7 and 10 pm, hundreds of birds descend from the sky, plummeting to their deaths by crashing into buildings and trees. Since birds aren’t known to be suicidal, the phenomenon has baffled villagers, visitors and scientists alike. For many years, locals believed that evil spirits living in the skies were responsible for bringing down the birds . After several scientific studies and experiments, it has been concluded that the birds are generally disoriented by the monsoon fog. They are attracted by the village lights and fly towards them, sometimes hitting walls and trees during the descent. Some of the birds die, while others are grievously injured, becoming easy prey for the villagers to capture. (Source) odditycentral/news/the-mind-boggling-bird-suicide-phenomenon-of-jatinga.html
