A Beebe New Year Tradition: Dead Blackbirds Raining From The Sky
Posted by Ryan on January 2nd, 2012
Once again the town of Beebe, Arkansas is cleaning up dead blackbirds around New Years and the police are banning fireworks.
“It’s just got to be a pain in my career,” Beebe Police Chief Wayne Ballew said.
Prior to this New Year’s Eve, Ballew said he wouldn’t be surprised if people sit out on their front porches in case the winged creatures fall from the sky again.
“I guess we could have an annual blackbird watch,” he said with a laugh. “People can just bring their umbrellas, open them up and walk through the neighborhood and hope they don’t get hit.”
