she'd be thinking that this isn't the kind of date she'd agreed to, but maybe she'll stick with you as you've obviously got a lot of money

If in space it would explode. The pressure pushing out from within the bird is near equal to the pressure of our atmosphere. If one create an atmosphere with pressure but zero gravity the bird would just flail around floating in whichever direction it was already going. In space it would freeze instantaneously and explode at the same time.

First off, there is no such thing as "zero gravity". Gravity is everywhere. No matter where you are. In space, the reason astronauts experience "weightlessness" is because the ship they are in is travelling fast enough tangential to its orbit to counteract the force of gravity (Centrifugal force).
To answer your question, the bird would flap around confused, but would most likely die of starvation because they use normal 1 G environments to swallow their food. In a low-gravity environment it would have to be force fed.

If you released a bird not zero gravity then it would get stressed because it would hardly move no matter how hard it flapped.
If there was no ar its head would explode.

Interesting! I'd imagine it would be very confused and would bump into walls/ceilings/floors a lot at first, since the physics of flight depends on gravity. After a while, though, I think it would figure out how to move around, that it didn't need to continue to flap its wings to continue moving, stuff like that.

It would be very confused!! But it would behave just like any other object in zero gravity except when it tries to fly. Maybe it would "work it out" and float but one flap and it would bang its head on the ceiling

The same as anything in zero gravity - it would float! Birds fly because they pushes the air, fish swim because they push water and people walk because we push the ground.

It would probably start flying and try to find something to land on. Then it would become disoriented and start crashing into stuff because it doesn't know how to slow itself down. Eventually (like after a few hours) it would probably figure out what was going on and how to fly around in zero gravity- provided it didn't manage to kill itself crashing into stuff first.

It depends on the birds trajectory, rate of spin, the birds mental situation with respect to consciousness and ability to deal with such a shock as well as environmental space and objects.

correct.... in zero GRAVITY, there can still be atmosphere, so technically the bird can fly......
i once watched a bluebottle flying at 500 mph before.. i was on a jumbo jet, it was inside, and during take off, he was buzzing about. then, at 500mph - he was happily flying about..

It would float. As it flapped its wings it would fly (not too well until it got the hang of zero g)
