Canaries warned of leathal gas in mines. Can budgies forewarn earthquakes?

Canaries were exploited for their susceptibility to methane.  The fact that they died before people doesn't say much for their fitness.  The problem with anecdotal evidence is there are no negatives.  When have you heard this: "I specificly noticed the squirrels were not acting strangely before the earthquake."  The test is coming up with ongoing measures of animal behaviors in earthquake / storm prone regions and showing they only occur prior to events or with potential precursors that don't result in events.

The Super Eagles are in the mountains for a change of feathers (Necessary for new heights).\n\nThe Lions broke a claw and went to the caves for rehab.

Some owls, like the eagle owl, will attack if you go near their nests with young. As they have heavy talons and a sharp beak they can be pretty dangerous.

~d1hossain is close.  What you need to check out is "tectonic" plates and tectonic mechanics/physics.   You might also want to look into seismology, volcanism, and diastrophism.  As for the relative danger zones, you might want to look into tsunamis and other seismic displacements.  "Nearness" to a fault is relative in the world of geology.  Few places on earth are not "near" a fault and safe from the effects of a cataclysmic underslide, as evidenced by the Rockies and the Himalayas.\nThat's all of your homework I'll do for you.  If it isn't homework, and you are asking out of genuine curiosity, all the more reason to do your own reasearch.  It's called learning.

I don't know about a cave, but when they left the roof of my house in Chad, they would go either way or straight. They're looking for flying insects, so they will head where they think they might find some.

Yes, the seismic activity that causes one can also cause the other.  When the Earth's techtonic plates shift but experience some resistance, they shake, jump, rattle the area around that resistance.  Sometimes a crack in the Earth's crust is created or widened which creates the eventual environment for a volcano.  Othertimes volcanoes are created over a hot spot (thin crust) in the Earth's crust, like the Hawaiian islands.  This is somewhat different, although some tremors can be felt.

I've heard of attacks by mockingbirds and bluejays and have seen both of these birds swoop on other potential predators such as cats. They only do it when they feel their nest (with eggs or nestlings) is threatened. The solution is just to stay away from the nest.

The Lark, who nests in what's left of meadows will feign injury to draw you away from her nest.  The Lapwing, the Tern and several ground nesting birds behave similarly.  It's very common near wind blown coastal areas where trees are rare and the birds through necessity have to nest on the ground that it occurs most commonly.

As a pilot and a Geologist, I find this highly unlikely.  \n\nThe first consideration is the media through which the wave are transferred.  Consider this simple experiment.  If you wave your hand through the air, the wind generated wouldn't be felt by someone on the other side of the room.  Air is a terrible transmitter of vibrations.  It tends to dampen most vibration.  Now consider that the plane was several miles in the air, it seems highly unlikely that the plane would have felt the effects of the quake.\n\nSecondly, Geologically speaking, earthquake waves tend to radiate out from an epicenter and are likely never felt at the point exactly opposite the epicenter on the earth's surface.  The Iron-Nickel core dampens the shock waves of the quake to the point where waves simply never appear on the opposite side of the earth.\n\nThird, there are no alarm signals in a plane to indicate that the earth is shifting.  \n\nFourth, the plane was landing to make a refueling stop, and so was low on fuel already.  Most sources point to a running out of fuel or fuel system malfunction as teh likely cause of the accident.  \n\nFifth, the article to which you refer first appeared in the Russian equivalent of the National Enquirer or Weekly World News (Grocery Store Scandal Magazines).\n\nThus, when flying there is little to fear from the quaking earth below you.  In fact, you're probably safer where you are.

I doubt it...they would be able to predict the earthquakes and be better prepared if that was the case.

I believe they're cavity nesters. In other words, they would nest in holes in trees in the wild, so it wouldn't look like much from the ground. They are also a common users of manmade bird houses.

a natural disaster such as earthquakes are possible anywhere.  just some areas (along fault lines) are more prone to the effects.  For my money, i would be most worried about a large volcano that spews ash into the atmosphere and causes the earth's climate to dramatically change.  Not much you can do about that!

Yes. It is a bit of a worry as its is displaying signs of 'grumbling'. If you are interested, there has been a volcanic eruption before which is potentially the size if Yellowstone blows it top. It happened 60-65Ma ago and is one of the possible reasons the Dinasaurs died out. \n\nIf and when Yellowstone goes, there is a very good chance that pretty much most of the US is going to be destroyed by either the flowing lava or the gases released into the atmosphere.\n\nAnyway I have provided you a link to the above mentioned Deccan Traps.

Yes. New World vultures (family Cathartidae, we call them "jotes" around here) are among the few birds with well-developed sense of smell. Other birds that use smell to forage include the albatrosses and petrels (Procellariiformes) and the flightless kiwi (Apterygiformes). \nSome interesting links:\nhttp://elibrary.unm.edu/sora/Auk/v111n02/p0285-p0291.pdf\nhttp://www.ecology.info/condors-2.htm\nhttp://instruct1.cit.cornell.edu/courses/psych396/student2002/hcs7/

it can be every where specialy when  your country is hosting wild birds, but i wish this problem uprooted from all over the world soon.\n\nstay safe\nnn

Rock percursors. If your animals are acting up it's too late ... they are reacting to the small tremors that we can't feel yet.
