Do birds get killed when during a public firework display?

Question

Or do they have some kind of instinct to avoid the area?

Answer 1

i guess they would avoid the firework display

Answer 2

highly unlikely as the first bang would send them scattering for miles around

Answer 3

not usually.. they fly away when they here all the loud noises adn screeching rockets..

if ones unlucky then i guess but by the time the rockets up in the air ready to explode they would have shot off

Answer 4

I wouldn't be surprised if some did.  Everyone is saying that they fly away, but unless they are birds adapted to see and fly at night, it is very hard for them to see - so it could be a real problem for them.

Answer 5

Not if they are smart.  The noise should drive them away.  Exploding shells are used in devices to rid fields of birds due to the noise.

Answer 6

may be it may be killed.

Answer 7

I really don't know.I was say yes if they got in the way.

Answer 8

They fly away when someone runs at them so I'm pretty sure they would stay clear of fireworks flying at them.

Answer 9

Animals in general have a very good instinct, and most of the fireworks isn't set off around trees which is where birds would probably hide. I haven't seen a dead bird hit by fireworks before, but I'm sure it happens.

Answer 10

it could happen if the bird was flying through and the first one went off but any other reason no the do have very good instances

Answer 11

Well I am pretty sure once the birds here one crack they are off far far away from the noise and they aren't awake and nine o clock when the fire works come out

Answer 12

h**l, the idea of a flock of geese flying into a fireworks show just made the whole idea attractive to me.

Answer 13

Well most places that have public fireworks displays avoid trees and natural habitats so hopefully that would not be an issue. I guess if something went wrong with the display and crash landed in the wrong area it could hurt people, birds, pets etc.

Answer 14

they wont get killed because they wont be near the fireworks at the dark or even in the daylight they would avoid it

for example

Bird flys into fireworks BOOM

no i dont think so

Answer 15

Mostly they do evade. Becas they have quick reflexness incase of firework nearing them and also they wont be there within certain part of the distance

Answer 16

they probably dont get killed because the sound will scare them away
