Do birds ever die mid-air?
I was pondering this today.
Aside from getting shot by hunters or sucked into jet engines, do birds ever die of natural causes while they're flying? Y'know, like a heart attack or stroke or something? I'm asking because I've never heard of someone getting hit by a falling bird. It seems like there are enough birds and enough people that I'd know someone who was hit by a falling bluebird or wren. And what about geese? Could a person be killed by a falling goose? I'm just wondering if I should be worrying about this. |

We had a really bad hail storm about 4-5 years ago and there were dead birds everywhere but yes they die mid air from different circumstances. Heart attacks , choking on worms, old age etc......

Other than dying from hail, spaceships, updrafts into freezing altitudes, and things, birds tend to go off into seclusion when they are not feeling well. In fact, very few birds actually survive far into adulthood. Dead birds are very important to the insect, reptile, feline, and rodent food chain.

The same people that want wind power are the same ones that want wind farm owners charged to killing birds.
