Boston - Health officials in Massachusetts are trying to figure out what caused a large flock of birds to fall out of the sky and on to a Boston street.
Local television news network NECN reports that 46 songbirds were found on Thursday in the city’s Dorchester neighborhood.
Some of the grackles were found dead, while others were just sick.
The Animal Rescue League of Boston says it went to the neighborhood after residents reported birds falling from the sky.
Resident Willien Pugh's outdoor cat named Sally suddenly died on Thursday morning. "It's unbelievable," said Pugh. "Something is happening, but I don't know, but I'm without a cat."
Investigators are trying to figure out if Sally's death is connected.
The birds that died will be sent to Tufts University for testing.
