Bookmaker offers odds on birds falling from sky

IRELAND -- (PRESS RELEASE) -- With dead birds plummeting from the sky faster than Nick Clegg's popularity rating, Ireland's biggest bookmaker Paddy Power is now taking bets on which country will next fall foul of the global avian Aflockalypse.

The UK has been installed as the bookies 2/1 favourite to report the next unexplained mass bird death with Ireland the 4/1 second favourite.

With reports of 50 dead jackdaws found on city streets in Sweden, neighbouring Finland is considered a 6/1 shot by Paddy Power with both Australia and Indonesia sharing the same odds of 10/1.

In a similar vein Paddy Power are also taking bets on the next marine life to suffer a similar fate to the thousands of dead fish which have recently washed up along coastlines in New Zealand, America and Brazil. The jellyfish has been installed as the 6/4 favourite ahead of the 3/1 starfish and turtles at 8/1.??

Ken Robertson from Paddy Power said "With no sign of these inexplicable mass animal deaths abating the question everyone is pondering is; where next?"
