Birds, like humans and most animals, suffer the same kinda illnesses, e.g. tumours, brain haemorages etc etc etc.
I knew a guy whose dog died of a heart attack. As he put the key in the lock of his front door, his dog dropped dead at his side. It was pretty old, but he never expected its death to come like that. It got me thinking, that although lots of animals have heart attacks, I’d never heard of a bird having one. I wondered that they might sense their time coming, and simply go roost somewhere till the end, and just drop dead, but some birds must have a heart attack in mid-flight, so how come I’ve never seen a bird drop dead from the sky? How come I’ve never met anyone who has seen this?
I’ve seen em fly into windows, even car windscreens, but never drop dead from the sky, not unless some f..ker shot them. Anyone ever seen this?
This is a serious question by the way. I don’t want inundated with replies like…………………………..
I was lying on the grass in the park one day when a 20LB Albatross dropped from the sky and landed on my arm causing me to spill my Budweisser…………..or………..a dead sparrow fell into the hood of my parka in 1971 when I was driving my scooter on the M6.
( I think I’m gonna regret this post )
to the end of my gun
:twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:Yeah ruby, I bred Budgies for a few years, long time back. As you say, they withdraw to the back of the cage kinda thing, sensing something. As Pete said too, they seek seclusion when they are ill too.
It’s true Pete that we rarely find dead birds for the reasons you gave, but it still seems odd that one never sees them die in mid-flight. They do have strokes too, which strike without warning.
If other creatures can have heart attacks and strokes etc, exerting themselves or not, somewhere at sometime they’ve got to die in mid-flight. Maybe it’s just that we don’t see it in inner cities cos we never watch the skies. I guess a hundred birds a day could die like this in the countryside and the odds of it being seen would be virtually nil.
And ugo, regards the end of that gun of yours…………place that end against your temple, squeeze the trigger………nuff said.
