And there were some unexplained die-offs around Virginia/Washington.D.C previously this year too
Unexplained deaths of zombie birds in Kentucky, Indiana, Maryland, Ohio, Virginia, Washington, D.C. and West Virginia concern scientists ([link1] [link2])

The same fungus that was causing Brood X cicadas to have sex until their genitals fell off is one possibility.
“Notably, Evans added that the bird die-off appears to be in decline as the cicada emergence is wrapping up.”
It would be interesting to overlay a cicada brood map over areas of bird deaths. I’m assuming that cicadas are living in Spain too.

Did they happen to be full of shotgun pellets?
My guess is some of them didn’t get the latest flight plan and murmurated to the right when they should have murmurated to the left.

I blame covid.
Then too, the natives are mortally afraid of the numerous whippoorwills which grow vocal on warm nights. It is vowed that the birds are psychopomps lying in wait for the souls of the dying, and that they time their eerie cries in unison with the sufferer’s struggling breath. If they can catch the fleeing soul when it leaves the body, they instantly flutter away chittering in daemoniac laughter; but if they fail, they subside gradually into a disappointed silence.

I think they were hit with an EMP, frying their circuits.
Birds aren’t real!

They didn’t make it back to their charging stations.

This exact thing was a major plot point in Dark.
Honestly, I would be more concerned if the dead birds had remained airborne
