AUSTIN, Texas -- Downtown Austin is closed for business this morning while experts figure out what killed off dozens of birds in the Texas capital.
The bird carcasses were found overnight throughout several blocks, and police blocked off the streets leading to countless businesses as a result. Officials said the area is expected to be off-limits for a few more hours.

A police spokeswoman said officials are testing for any sort of environmental contaminant, or gas or chlorine leaks that could have killed the birds.

There are no reports of any humans being harmed.
