I've never seen any credible evidence of the mythical bird fish. Urmetz, you gave the almost certain cause of a stocking in flat fields, flooded by rain and pooling water. Small fish/fry can swim a long distance in 1/8" of water. If draining into a creek, many fish can swim up a 10 foot high vertical stream of water out a drain pipe.
