Let me explain, towards the end of the movie:
Remember at the end of the movie where Cruise was standing under the statue of Paul Revere and he noticed that those red vein things had turned to a crispy tube that could be crushed to a grey powder?...they were dead. Well?..what sits on statues?...birds!
Towards the end of the movie:
Remember him pointing up to the alien tripod mentioning the birds that were circling around it? The birds were crapping on the tripod.
Remember the beginning and end of the movie showing the bacteria?
It finally hit me as I was walking out of the theatre what killed the aliens....something in the bird crap!

I don't think the birds have anything to do with the tripod going down, all that they did was prove the shields were down because they were flying so close to it.
