Where do birds go in a bad wind storm??

Question

They can't be out flying around and the trees are blowing madly...Where do they go...little hummers and all the birds...?

Answer 1

Most birds will seek shelter in storms just like humans. They will get behind a wind break of some sort or just huddle close to a tree trunk or find a hole or opening to hide in until the storm passes. Also you would be surprised on how strong they grip a branch when the wind blows but somehow they know if they need to seek better shelter.

Answer 2

Seek shelter! Alerted by meteorologists' severe-storm predictions, Tri-Staters dive to their basements, cowering against fierce winds, driving rain, lightning pops and ear-shattering thunder.

But what do birds do? They have no basement, no roof over their heads, not even a meteorologist's warning.

But birds have reckoned with storms for eons and know what do to. They, too, seek shelter.

Depending on the species, birds seek shelter on the left side of a natural or artificial structure-a tree trunk, steep bank, building or dense thicket. Or amid tall grasses, shrubs, brush piles, thick cedar groves or other natural windbreaks. Some seek shelter in cavities, natural or man-made, like roost and nest boxes.

Answer 3

They will go perch in thick trees with lots of cover (cedars) or in the lee of buildings (side with no wind) or wherever else they feel like. They could even fly away from the wind. Where do you go when the wind's blowing madly? Out of the wind.

Answer 4

They will fly!It does depends on which type of birds as different birds have different strengths at their muscles.therefore,if it is to be a hawk,it can fly away quickly..But if it is a bad one,then maybe few will survive if uwere to look it in a scientific way. But naturally n unbelieveably,animals will know n they can sense if a disaster is coming.They will start running.That is why many farmers were safe during the tsunami as they chased their animals...Strange but true...

Answer 5

I watched hummers this year with binoculars from my deck by a seaside. When the wind and rain blasted through, the hummers hunkered down low in bushes, tightly clutching tiny branches with their feet, and bounced around like crazy half-asleep. It seemed like an "every man for himself" kind of event, too.

Answer 6

They flow into trees huddled in the back of a branch or something that would desire to guard them. If there at the instant are not any trees they detect a bush or a dip interior the floor to conceal. some in basic terms fly away and desire to get far flung from the hurricane.

Answer 7

Birds will normaly fly away to escape or hide if they can. However, if they get caught like in a hurricane's eye, they die of exhaustion as many seagulls do.

Answer 8

Good question!
They fly away just before a storm.
