Jatinga, Assam – Suicidal Birds

Having a population of around 2500, this village is famous worldwide for its unexplained phenomenon of bird suicides.

None of them has yet been able to prove any of the theories behind this phenomenon, though, which is why it continues to haunt and intrigue the minds of the residents and travellers just the same.
