As odd as it sounds, I read the other day that flocks of birds randomly dying is not all that uncommon. Everything from lightning to firecrackers to airplanes to windmills and yeh, probably chemicals and pollution, too.
No need to wonder, you're exactly right. All you have to do is research it. These things happen ALL THE TIME. They just don't normally report on it. For whatever reason, they're reporting on it now.
