Plus, if there really are so many, then where do they all go to die? With billions of birds, wouldn't they be falling out of the sky?

I would give a very conservative estimate that there are at least 30 billion birds in the world today. The reason you do not see more dead birds is because their bodies decompose very rapidly. Most all of their bones are hollow and bacteria and insects can ravage through a bird carcass in a matter of a few days. Most birds will look for brush, a field, or wooded area to rest for good. So unless you are specifically looking for them in rural areas, you would not find their final resting place.

are you just stupid or playing stupid ?
I have asked myself where do sparrows lay their eggs since I haven't seen any nest in entire life of mine, an yet there are so many sparrows flying and saying nonsenses in the trees.
so I didn't ask that question here...
