With all the birds flying around, I've never seen one drop out of the sky.

Just a thought.

Way over Yonder, that's where I'm bound

A friends grey parrot had a heart attack. He fell off the perch rather than out of the sky though.

I wondered if their eyes have more rods than cones, as they can fly in poor light conditions. Irrelevant to your question, just popped in my head

Used to keep chickens. Can confirm chickens (birds) do have heart attacks.

There was a feature on the radio yesterday about turning off lights at night as migrating birds are getting confused and flying into the buildings.

Pretty much why moths go for lights. There's more to it than that but I've been at the wine.

Has anyone been hit or seen a bird falling out of the sky?

Although I guess you will need to give it an Autopsy to determine how it died.

Been on the wine ? OK, let's keep it simple. Do birds eyes, have more rods than cones. Yes or No ?

I've been surrounded by massive loads of birds who've fallen from the sky, for unknown reasons. Feel sure birds hearts are predisposed to heart attacks.

That question doesn't have a yes or no answer, because it isn't that simple...In diurnal birds, 80% of the receptors may be cones whereas nocturnal owls have almost all rods. So there.

Ah, so the crows and blackbirds that make a dash for it as the light fades, are just chancers then ? Fair enough, question answered, thank you
