Short answer: Of course not. That would be pure Hollywood silliness.
But it wouldn't surprise me if the explanation of these events might just be grounded in some sort of Hollywood explanation. For example, inspired by The Godfather, these events could be some type of slimy underworld "Sicilian message" signifying that some bad person "sleeps with the fishes" or (alternatively) "flies with the birds."
Or, maybe the two evil forest hillbillies from Deliverance and/or Bill Clinton got loose last week in the Arkansas wilderness. Lord only knows the havoc that any of those dudes might be capable of wreaking.
Or, coming out of a 2010 that saw more lame Hollywood remakes of old movies than perhaps any year in cinema history, maybe some fool is shooting some uninvited remake of Alfred Hitchcock's The Birds or the cult classic Piranha.
Point being: There are a million possible natural explanations for these events. We should take a good look at those before conjuring up the supernatural. For example, if any of these blackbirds or drum fish happened to catch a few quarters of the Kansas City Chiefs' performance against Oakland yesterday, then you probably have your explanation right there.
