On extremely cold days many birds will roost to conserve heat. If they take to the air they expose their underwings and bodies, and the short insulating feathers under the flight feathers are exposed to the cold air, so they no longer provide adequate insulation.

It depends on the type of bird. Many bird fly to another area. Some birds take cover on the ground. Not all bird escape the wrath of a tornado. After a tornado struck our farm, my father was cleaning up the fallen trees in one of our corrals and found that the several members of the flock of turkeys that had been roosting in them were dead on the ground, having never left the trees in which they were roosting.

It was not bad karma unless it was done intentionally, but just to be on the safe side, it is always good karma to show respect for the dead (in cases like this, especially). Light a candle for the bird and know in your heart that you are truly sorry for its death, but understand that it would not have happened had it not meant to (and thus, you had no control over it yourself).

Depends on the bird. Some settle down for the night alone, or on a nest. I assume you're talking about big flocks of birds like blackbirds and crows. Some of them look for a spot to roost together because of safety in numbers. They may fly all over at dusk to round up everybody and then fly to whereever they decide is a safe spot to spend the night.

Many birds use the nests abandoned by others. The snug, safe cavities hammered in a tree by woodpeckers may be used by house wrens, tree swallows, screech owls, or bluebirds. The solitary sandpiper will raise its family in the old nest of a thrush or blackbird. \n\nSo I say keep the nest up there!

all birds flee the nest once they can fly...most nests after they are used end up falling apart and are not going to last for ANY birds lifetime for it to come back to.  Are you talking a REAL bird or a MYTHICAL one?? No REAL bird does this.

Most raptors, hawks, kites, kestrals, and what-not are protected, I think. Best you bury the carcass and don't mention it again.

I found a magpie nest with three large babies in it and the nest had no roof, so I have no Idea, but not all members of the species must build them. I would guess though that it provides protection from the elements, and provides shade when the parents are foraging. Some other species such as orioles and cliff swallows build enclosed nest, although I dont know of any corvids that do.

This question on how to repel birds has come up a lot now that bird flu is in the news.  They sell high voltage strips that you can have installed on the top of the tower.  When the birds land they get a small shock.  It doesn't hurt them; however, they will leave the tower.  Also considering your an airport, birds can create a lot of damage to an aircraft.  I've heard of people hiring hawk trainers to come to the airport once a week.  The hawks feed on a bird and the birds leave the area.

Never saw it, but it sounds like a marvelous idea, go for it!\n\nAs for arriving alive, I've seen a lot of things shipped, and as long as most survive okay, it will work.  Remember, these are pretty fragile when you pile a bunch in a box and ship them anywhere.  The trick, just like when you see a dead animal on the road--don't look too closely--so a wedding is the wrong time to dwell on the numbers dead in the box. Get someone to move those that survived to a larger decorated or more presentable box or very large set of jars before the time to release them.   They will need to get their wings unbent, a sort of stretching time of having more room to roam. It will be a mental decompression time for them after being almost traumatized over being packed together for the trip.  You will want to feed them, probably a hummingbird feeder but you don't need color in the sugared water.  Still, they will be happy to be free and it will be a pleasant amazement as they flutter around your guests.  Not too many bugs in the world we look upon with joy and appreciation, considering that in the wild they would just be some bird's lunch you are doing them no harm.

I suggest you just let them be ! The crows warn most birds that there is a preditor around by squeeling,In my yard they live in harmony ! with the yellow finch,cardinals,sparrows,and many more birds!

I would call your local health department and alert them. If you pick up the birds use gloves and place them in some type of receptacle so they can be transported. I think in this day and age it would be helpful for you and the public.

We had a problem with copperheads also and mothballs around the area work great!  Also chickens will kill them and cats.  If you get bit you just need to go to your doctor or emergancy.  Make sure you wear boots when walking about out there!

According to folk lore and old wives' tales (at least here in the South), cardinals crossing our path is good luck but when a cardinal keeps staying at your window, "attacking" himself (because he thinks it's another male threatening his territory) it means there will be a death in the household within a year.  I had one at my window for 3 months and it nearly drove us crazy.  I don't understand how he didn't batter his brains out.  Anyway, two years have passed, but no household members have passed, thank goodness.  So much for tales!

are u saying that the cats are 6yrs old?? well if so, cats can be very jealous creatures and if both of them grew up 2gether they wont compete for affection, how ever if u add a new member who of cause will get way more attention that they do (since Kittens are so adorable and u need to keep them near by since they are full of energy and mischief), they might (the older cats) get violent against the kitten or become sick. So i recommend not to get another kitten. but if u have your heart set on it be careful and don't neglect the older cats.
