In Richmond, CA, multiple dead birds prompted concerns from residents who initially thought they were electrocuted. However, investigations by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) revealed no signs of electrocution. Instead, officials suggested injuries consistent with pellet guns or slingshots. The Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) confirmed that their equipment was functioning properly. Neighbors reported over 50 dead birds, leading to ongoing speculation about the incidents, with one indicating the sound associated seemed more like a firecracker than a BB gun.
PG&E does not believe that there was an issue with our electrical equipment and agrees that these birds were not electrocuted. Neighbors have asked the Contra County Sheriff's Office to look into this situation.
These birds were not electrocuted, and injuries appeared consistent with a pellet gun, BB gun or a slingshot.
I feel like a BB gun doesn't make a firecracker noise. This sounds exactly like a firecracker.
With limited info, we still cannot definitively conclude the precise cause of these birds' deaths.
