"Bird secret" 
Dzhatinga - a small village in the Indian province of Assam. The village is surrounded by green forests and picturesque mountains. But most of all Dzhatinga known for another reason, called "bird's secret».
A unique phenomenon occurs in Dzhatinge annually in September and October during the monsoon. Migratory and local birds commit mass suicide here: just after sunset, from seven to ten in the evening, hundreds of birds falling from the sky to their death on the trees and walls. The phenomenon whose causes are unknown, baffling both villagers and scientists. Residents have long believed that the culprit - the evil spirits.
Of course, the spirits do with it: after some research it was concluded that the birds usually disorienting fog resulting from the monsoon. Birds attracted to the lights of the village, and they fly them, sometimes crashing on the way to trees and walls. Some birds are killed, others receive severe wounds and become easy prey for the villagers - such birds are generally much stunned and no resistance when the villagers take them over.
Also, studies show that birds come only from the north and fight only in clearly delineated lane in the village - its length of 1, 5 km long and 200 meters wide. The lights in the south of the village do not attract birds.
Most birds suicide - local kingfishers, herons and bitterns. According to scientists, the birds during the monsoons are losing their natural habitat due to flooding. Then they migrate to the time in other places, and Dzhatinga located on their migration route. However, it is unclear why the birds fly only at night (most of the birds is active during the day), and why each year fall into the same trap.
The villagers do not mind bird deaths - Dzhatinga is famous only because of this phenomenon. Every year come here to the researchers and tourists to look at him. In addition, the bird is quite delicious, so that the villagers happy to savor the delicacies specially lit and more lights to lure them.
