All of the birds ― either 47 or 48, depending on the report ― were grackles, a type of songbird. Dozens of birds rained down from the sky over the Boston neighborhood of Dorchester on Thursday morning. “The weaker ones were just falling right out the sky.”Local resident Shelora Levaud told CBS Boston that it seemed as if the birds were paralyzed on one side. And the birds weren’t the only victims. Willien Pugh found his beloved cat, Sally B, dying at his doorstep at around 8:30 that morning.
