Can we get that from a legit news source?

Birds migrate, news at 11.

I went deep on the crows over Tel Aviv. The “harbinger of doom” framing is ancient superstition. The actual story is far more unsettling.
500 million birds cross Israeli airspace twice a year. Israel sits at the only bottleneck connecting three continents. Europe, Asia, and Africa funnel through a corridor roughly the width of New Jersey. 550 species, twice annually. The entire continent of North America, 1,000 times Israel’s size, sees barely twice as many species. March and April are the densest weeks as birds returning from African wintering grounds hit their last fueling stop before Europe.
Hooded crows roost communally in cities during nesting season. Tel Aviv’s heat islands, artificial lighting, and food waste make it a magnet. Large urban roosts like this are documented every spring. Ornithologist Yaron Cherka confirmed the behavior is entirely normal seasonal movement.
The part that actually matters: Israel’s radar systems cannot reliably distinguish migrating birds from incoming drones. Iranian Shahed drones have a radar cross-section roughly the size of a large bird. They fly at similar altitudes, similar speeds, similar unpredictable patterns. During the current war, Israeli radar operators have fired million-dollar interceptors at flocks of cranes and pelicans. Prof. Yossi Leshem at Tel Aviv University has been working with the Israeli Air Force for 40 years trying to solve this exact problem, and since October 2023 the confusion rate has spiked.
The Hula Valley crane population dropped from 50,000 to 15,000 in a single season. That data is classified as a military matter, not a wildlife one.
A $50,000 Iron Dome Tamir missile fired at a pelican. A $4 million Patriot missile fired at a flock of storks. 500 million birds arriving on schedule into the most contested airspace on Earth, at the exact moment when every radar operator’s job is to shoot first and classify second.
The crows are migrating. The catastrophe was already here when they arrived.

It's true. It was all over X yesterday being recorded by many different people.
Although it was weird because many people were like, "if you know scripture, this isn't good." Yet, I found no references to crows being some sort of bad omen in scripture.

Crows are very common in Israel, particularly the Hooded Crow.
Large-scale movement of crows in Israel often occurs during the spring, with notable sightings of thousands of crows leaving urban areas like Tel Aviv around March

Agreed
Elijah was fed by crows, but outside of that, I got nothing

Science and Geography intersect daily. Tune in tonight at 9 to learn more.
Blackbirds do the same thing here in the Southeast US every Spring as well.

Crows were used by Noah to find land. If anything crows are a good omen in the scripture.

The only thing that mentions anything ominous is Revelation 19:17-18 discussing the end of the beast and false prophet at the battle of Armageddon. This clearly isn’t that, but it is creepy just the same.
quote:
And I saw an angel standing in the sun; and he cried with a loud voice, saying to all the fowls that fly in the midst of heaven, Come and gather yourselves together unto the supper of the great God; That ye may eat the flesh of kings, and the flesh of captains, and the flesh of mighty men, and the flesh of horses, and of them that sit on them, and the flesh of all men, both free and bond, both small and great.

Go to YouTube and type in "Bird or Crow migration in Israel" and add a random year to it. Scroll down past the current clickbait freakout from the tards and look at videos from the past.
Or don't.

Odin putting up surveillance - ready to make his move?

I'll go with that as I don't see anything weird about it.
Maybe I can gain some clicks on YouTube by filming the millions of frickin starlings that are invading North America in huge flocks.

I'd rather you take your shotgun to them. Record it and throw it on YouTube.

That's what people should be doing.

That’s really cool that our tax dollars go to shooting missiles at birds

Once, a few years back in my area, "birds" started falling dead from the sky with no obvious cause. The news video showed the birds and they were all European Starlings. I replied to the Twitter post, "That's a Starling. I don't know what's causing it, but we need to figure out so we can do it on demand."
Some woman scolded me and called me sadistic.
