Bird fallout

Bird fallout is when lots of birds suddenly fall out of the sky and end up on the ground. It's like a big bird party in the sky but then something happens and they all crash onto the ground.

Sometimes this can happen because the birds are flying really far and get tired or lost, and they need to rest for a while. Other times it can happen because of bad weather or strong winds that push them down.

Birds can also fall out of the sky because of something called a "bird strike." This is when a bird hits an airplane while it's flying in the air. The bird doesn't usually survive and can fall to the ground.

It's important for people to be careful when there is a bird fallout because the birds might be hurt and need help. We can make sure they are safe from things like cars and pets and try to get help from experts who can take care of them until they can fly back up into the sky.
