This is the moment hundreds of migratory birds mysteriously dropped from the sky whilst they were in mid-flight in Mexico.

Shocking footage, which has gone viral on social media, shows the cloud of yellow-headed blackbirds suddenly dropping to the ground.

Many of the flock are seen flying away but many dozens were left lying dead on the street.

Local residents began seeing the yellow-headed blackbirds which travel south to Mexico from Canada in the winter falling from the sky at around 5 am.

Separate video footage, taken the same day, shows the motionless birds lying on a street as someone with a broom sweeps them into piles.

The dead birds  which were also discovered 620 miles away in Rubio, Mexico  were removed and will be tested to establish their exact cause of death. The investigation is ongoing.

Many viewers on social media have speculated that the incident could be a murmuration that went wrong.
