The End Is Near! Or Is It?

Hundreds of thousands of dead fish washing up on shore, dead crabs, and birds dropping dead out of the sky.  Sounds like the beginning of a movie about 2012 right?  Is it a sign that the end is near?  I don't think so.  Let's think about this, we've had major oil spills happening in the gulf.  That explains the dead fish & crabs in my opinion.  But what about the birds?  Hello?  Birds eat fish & crabs!  They're probably eating the dead ones that are washing up on shore!  Yeah I bet that has a little something to do with it.  They'll eat anything!  Go to Sonic you'll see 2 birds fighting over a french fry lol.  So what do you think?  Is it a sign or is it a coincidence?
