From my window I can see birds flying high in the sky. When it rains do they get rain drop in their eyes?

Probably,but the structure of birds eyes is unique. so it most likely does not interfere with their flying. Birds have three eyelids. There is an upper lid like humans have. There is also a lower lid which is usually closed when sleeping. The third lid sweeps horizontally across the eye cleaning it like a windshield wiper. It may also protect the eye against wind while flying. In diving birds it acts like an extra lens. Hawks and owls may be able to bend this third lid like a lens, thus, giving them the same effect as a zoom lens on a camera.
For those who say birds do not fly in the rain,that is nonsense!! Its been raining here most of the day,birds are STILL flying around!!!

Birds do not like to fly in the rain as the water affects the coating on their feathers and makes it harder work to flap them due to the additional weight. If a pet bird gets out of the cage the best thing can be to hose it so it slows it's flight to make it easier to catch.

When it rains if they are out in it yes, but usally birds go back to their safe haven nesting spots to stay safe or cover babies up from getting wet. Sometimes rain is the only form of water a bird or other wild animal has.

I would imagine so - they do have eyelids, so they do blink. But notice that birds eyes on on the sides of their heads; that way, it would make it easier for them to fly - both in bad weather and in good!

you'll notice that when it rains the birds don't go out flying - they find a place to shelter.

no they dont as they have tiny little birdie eyebrows which are so small they are actually invisible to the human eye, but trust me, they are very effective
