Why do you rarely see dead birds on the ground (apart from ones hit by cars) where do they all go?

Answer 1

They already have wings so they got to heaven quicker

Answer 2

i actually saw a dead bird on the ground last week that hadn't been hit by a car

Answer 3

...look out the window..... straight up. How many birds do you see in the sky (excluding flocks of the 'flying rats'), you know, just in general.... now ONE of them dies...where did it land. Hmmm.

A LOT of ground area per capita. One small bird lost in a square mile of so of land... not easy to see - come across them even less frequently.

Answer 4

but i also know another place were they often go to die, apart from sea (if thats true) and that bushes....we found a dead seagul in one once.....

They become a large part of the food chain providing supper for foxes, wolves, coyotes and other animals, as well as maggots.
