Bar-headed geese can literally fly over Mount Everest and have been seen by climbers doing so. They have been spotted flying at ~9000m or 30,000 ft. Here is a site on them: http://magazine.audubon.org/birds/birds0011.html
At this elevation there is only 1/3rd the air pressure of sea level.
Birds, unless they are pets at the Space Station, can never fly into outer space. They need the air to breathe and they need the air to support them when they fly. (No air, nothing for their wings to push off of).

This question has been asked and answered many times. Try a search before asking such a question.
Songbirds migrate from 500 to 1000 feet. There are geese and swans that fly at 20000 feet. The record altitude for a bird is close to 30000 feet.

the higest record i remember is 11 000 m or 11 km hold by condor. Definately not outer space, cause there is no air, wind too strong at some layers, atmospere may even burn the freaking bird due to friction and lastly, gravity.

I believe that geese are the highest flying birds. They store oxygen that is inhaled in a type of pouch in their body and then send it back through their lungs again. There are times when military and commerical aircraft have close calls with geese flying at 30,000 feet.

They couldn't make it to space at a certain point the air will get too thin and cold for them to survive.
