they can but they wont unless they have to.

Answer 6

Birds certainly can fly in the rain.  Their feathers are oily and repel

water.  Also, their bones are hollow, so even if they do get a little wet,

it won't weigh them down too much.  It's a different story whether birds

LIKE flying in the rain or not!

Though many birds will seek some shelter,  during heavy rain.

Answer 7

Answer 8

i dont think they like being completely wet. like their feet is ok, but i dont believe they like their heads and body wet. i've never seen a bird flying in the rain. they prolly hide in trees. i guess if it's sprinkling they might.

No, only till they find shelter

Answer 15

Well, I know that birds *do* fly in the rain...but whether or not it is to have a bath, or to get from point A. to point B.??  I guess the only 'being' that would know that would be the bird.
