Raining animals is a relatively common meteorological phenomenon
Occurrences have been reported from many countries throughout history. The animals most likely to drop from the sky in a rainfall are fish and frogs, with birds a close third. Most recent occurrences include the rain of frogs and toads in Serbia (2005) and London (1998), and rains of fish in India (2006) and Wales (2004).
A significant population of toads in Germany and Denmark were exploding in April 2005 in an act described as a self-defence mechanism that failed, as it consisted of puffing up to look bigger while under attack by crows.
