Birds may be able to sense severe storms and flee

Washington, Dec 22 (PTI) Golden-winged warblers may be able to hear deadly storms thousands of kilometres away and flee to safer places, according to a new study.

The study conducted by researchers at the University of California, Berkeley, found that warblers apparently knew in advance that a storm that would spawn 84 confirmed tornadoes and kill at least 35 people last spring in Tennessee was coming.

The birds left the scene well before devastating super cell storms blew in.
