White cockatoos fall 'like rain' and die in mass in Australia
Dozens of Australian white cockatoos suddenly fall from the sky to a hill in Australia and die. Their eyes and mouth bleed like scenes from horror movies.
Rescue workers in the One Tree hill, Adelaide, South Australia state, said nearly 60 native parrots (Australian corella parrots) suddenly fell from the sky. Their eyes and mouth bleed.
According to the Guardian, they fell near an elementary school right in front of witnesses and were suspected of mass poisoning.

Sarah King, founder of the Casper Bird Rescue Center, said one of her employees discovered the birds that were dropped on July 10.
"When he got there, he called me. He felt really sad and said there were many things to do there," said Sarah. "They really fell from the tree right in front of him."
"Only 2 or 3 children died. The rest only groaned on the ground. They couldn't fly anymore, their mouths bleed , " she said.
Rescue workers then found a total of 60 parrots, of which 58 died.
White-headed parrots are considered pests in South Australia. Small white parrots on the list are not protected by the government.
In March, the local council proposed killing them with poison.
Sarah said most of the parrots of a protected species are Cacatua parrot tenuirostris . Only 3 of them are unprotected.
She also said the poison used was the type that caused "a gradual death in pain". Animals can take up to several weeks to die. According to Sarah, this causes the parrots to bleed inside.
"It's cruel , " she said.
According to her, this is illegal. However, the incident is still under investigation.
