can birds fly as high as an air plane??

Question

i asked a flight person and they said yes they could but i have never seen one.

Answer 1

you mean like 30,000 feet? no, the oxygen up that high is so thin that they would probably faint and fall to earth. However, birds do fly as high as 10,000 plus feet, and some specific species of birds do fly over the Himilayan mountains which is 20,000 plus feet, but those birds have adapted to doing that.

Answer 2

But less likely that most birds could fly to as high as an air plane, due to the condensation of the oxygen contained in the air in the high end of the sky. Human is by no means could survive under this circumstances, so do birds could?

Answer 3

Birds and planes do fly at the same heights, but planes can go higher than birds. In other words, a plane can fly low but a bird cannot fly high.

Answer 4

Actually, the Rüppell's griffon Gyps rueppelli holds the record for getting sucked into an engine of a jet at almost 40,000 feet!!!.

But a bird species that frequently flies at 30,000 feet is the Anser indicus. They regularly fly above Mt. Everest. So yes, a plane at cruising altitude can still suck in a bird, or run into one!

Answer 5

relies upon what variety of airplane ur conversing approximately... a passenger airplane or shipment airplane not often has any insidence with birds(purely possibly via beginning up and touchdown) yet with low altitude planes birds could be sucked interior the engine inflicting a misfuntion and u could finally end up crashing. like u reported, the air is merely too skinny for them... yet ofcourse birds could return and forth as shipment... then sure...:P

Answer 6

it tottaly depends on the air craft a orivate jet (bonanza or cessna) has a much lower flight ceiling thus resulting in burds bein able to fly as HIGH NOT AS FAST planes are travelling at hundreds of mph birds arent

Answer 7

Maybe it's bad

Answer 8

Interesting, I was wondering the same thing myself
