Earth's Magnetic Pole

The Earth's magnetic pole is shifting causing all kinds of turmoil, etc.:

I'm wondering if this might possibly have anything to do with the mysterious death of all those blackbirds and fish in so many places, etc.!!!!!!!!!

I've read that birds do rely on the magnetic pole for their flight, so I wouldn't rule that out. Dropping dead because of a shift seems a bit strange, though. I would expect the birds might get a little lost, but nothing more than that.
