Where do birds go?

Four o’clock in the morning, the chirping of little creatures does provide peace to the mind. The music and creation of nature always fascinates me and watching the birds is the best thing to do. I can spend my whole day just watching them, feeding, eating, flying, searching for its mate, playing with its flock, and much more.



I, often, think birds' lives are indeed more adventurous than ours but way more dangerous too. These interesting creatures, small or big, sweet or scary, full of colours or mono-colour, child or adult, numerous kinds of them, all are charming.



Have you ever wondered where these little creatures go to die?


Have you ever seen the bird which flies over and sits in your balcony daily, dead one day, there? It is very rare that you see a dead bird unless it is attacked by a cat or other larger birds or electrocuted by the electricity transmission lines. Generally, where do they go to die when dead, this is the question I often wonder.



Some say birds migrate and they die during the travel span, and their remains fall into the water bodies on the way like lakes, seas, ocean, or they are attacked by other animals. While in search of the answer, I came across an article by Late Cork Bishop Cornelius Lucey, where he challenged anyone to produce evidence of a bird that had died because of a natural cause.




Birds arose from a group of two-legged dinosaurs known as theropods, whose members include the towering Tyrannosaurus rex and the smaller velociraptors. “A bird didn’t just evolve from a T. rex overnight, but rather the classic features of birds evolved one by one; first bipedal locomotion, then feathers, then a wishbone, then more complex feathers that look like quill-pen feathers, then wings,” Brusatte said.



Do you think such creatures can die just like that?


I studied, birds have a strong sense algorithm, and they get to know when it’s a time of their death. It is said that when they sense it, birds fly to the depth of forest into the darkness or deep into the trees, hide and leave our system. I am not so convinced with this.


However, research is still in progress, but scientists say that the birds when sensing the alarm of death, they fly high and high to an extent of the earth’s atmosphere, and at a certain level, its body gets cremated by the various unsuitable elements present in the outer layer of atmosphere and the birds burst into the dust. This is how its life ends!


It is said regarding music to "end a performance on a high note"; guess what didn’t realize birds literally do that and end their life's act on a high note.


These little creations are more evolved than the so-called farsighted humankind. They know that they have lived enough and live the freedom to go where they want when they want to when to detach themselves from the young ones, and now it seems they know when to die and where to die.


I was attracted by the birds based on their visuals and characters, but now death also enthrals me. I will keep you posted more about nature and other interesting facts about it.
