It seems like many of them are in Wales...
Hundreds of birds found dead on a north Wales road are to be tested to discover how they died.
Around 300 starlings were discovered with blood on their bodies in a lane on Anglesey.
Dafydd Edwards, whose partner found the birds, said it was as if "they had dropped down dead from the sky".
The Animal and Plant Health Agency has collected them for testing, and will examine whether they could have been poisoned.
Mr Edwards, 41, said his partner Hannah Stevens first saw the birds alive as she went to an appointment on Tuesday afternoon.
"She said she saw hundreds of them flying over and thought it looked amazing but on her way back around an hour later they were all dead in the road.
