Magnetic field changes activate the trigeminal brainstem complex in a migratory bird

Non-nerds need not apply.. After reading the Abstract, I think my ears are bleeding.. Bottom line: The trigeminal nerve in birds transmit magnetic information to the brain, and magnetic disturbance effects that information. Two pronged thought(s): If this is, in part, an explanation for the mass bird deaths, can the same be said for the fish/amphibian die offs? Might fish have a similar "sonar" navigational system, and/or might their nervous systems be effected by a sudden change in magnetism? As of yesterday, no official explanation for the fish deaths in Ozark, Arkansas(according to this horribly written article--scroll down mid-way) has been identified as the cause.
Solar magnetic activity during the three week apex of animal die-offs was low(Jan.1-21), so could tectonic activity or a pole shift generate enough and varied magnetic disturbance to this end? Or maybe, something else..
Now that Solar flare activity has increased, might we see similar events? If not; why?

Mass Animal Deaths Continue. The Government Can't Be Poisioning Them All, Can They?

The cavalcade of whimsy continues, as about a million jellyfish and hundreds of thousands of fish all over the world all decided to go off-planet this week. Clustered as a two month event from mid-December to mid-February(or the three weeks from New Year's Day until January 21), millions of birds and fish died under a variety of circumstances, some mysterious or controversial. While some observers/ blogger/ scientifical types continue to state(quite correctly) that mass animal deaths aren't uncommon, a cursory Bing search of "mass animal deaths biggest" turned up no Master List of this type of phenomena within the parameters of "biggest" for any kind of comparison.

A list, though, of Creepiest Casualties of mass animal deaths show only one event to be bigger in scope: The comet or asteroid impact on earth 65 million years ago. Granted, this isn't enough to make a solid assertion about the severity of these death clusters as a warning to some future apocalypse(again, based on Internet information availability..), but it also makes these recent events harder to dismiss. While there surely have been bigger specific-event animal die-offs in the past, this cluster-event continues to grow. Due to global conditions facilitating more of these events(extemes in cold and heat, along with the Gulf oil spill and Corexit poisoning, seems likely to continue. Again, die offs occur; but the scope of these combined events are disturbing when viewed as a whole.

Theories? Good post here detailing some possibilities, but it omits one of the strongest contenders, at least for the southern U.S. events: Corexit. I'm curious as to whether any alternative news organizations are tracking these events for a comprehensive piece detailing events, locations, connections, and possibilities that can fit all these disparate puzzle pieces into perspective. I'm leaning towards geomagnetic distortion/ pole shift, New Madrid activity, and Corexit, with the answer somehow involving them all, but in what ratio, and including other factors, I have no idea. This doesn't seem to be going away..

They Were Dying En Masse, Then They Weren't

It's strange the mass animal die-offs gained visibility New Year's Eve and stopped three weeks later. Natural News tracks the timeline from December 13th to January 11th, but essentially dropped to zero visibility after 10, 000 cattle died and the government's "admission" to poisoning birds in South Dakota. But that's one event, and doesn't factor in the autopsy of the birds in Beebe, or the variety of other animal death events. The high weirdness here is the die offs have stopped, or at least stopped being written about. That's Bing. This is the google search page. Both subjects: mass animal deaths January 20 to February 4. Or did they just stop?
Also losing visibility was anything related to electromagnetic disturbances or any mention of a pole shift, in the MSM, but not on the 'net, of course.
Again; Maybe they're related, and when one stopped, so did the other.
Maybe. At the moment, anything seems possible.
