Besides being extremely bad luck...why would this be happening?

Yesterday two died side by side next to a large tree (maybe an overgrown bush - about 20 feet tall) that has dark purple raspberry shaped berries. They eat them like crazy (and poop them like crazy too.)

Today a bird was just sitting on the grass...didn't move when I came up to it.

Could they be eating the berries and getting high? or poisoned?

Around where I live dead birds are reported to Animal Control immediately. West Nile virus-

Something is getting to them. Please report it ASAP! West Nile is a problem in our area, too.

I'd make a call, terrier.

You certainly should have reported this by now if birds are dropping dead all around you.

[terrier3]

I hadn't thought of that!

I'll have to find out what the building manager did with the bodies...

[minkbunny]

Is this the fruit they are eating? Mulberries?

[azterry!]

Do they spray pesticides around your house?

If so, the birds could be getting poisoned.

[Preds]

Oh, I love Mulberries!

Or someone could be maliciously putting poison out? Or maybe there's a dangerous chemical or gas that seeped into the ground?
