Correct, and to add to that, the bird DOES have common sense. It's not like a human learning to swim, it's instinct and they're born with it. Plus, not being able to fly does not mean not being able to flap its wings. Most of the time they can, just not hard enough or fast enough. Birds are also better-equipped than a falling human would be to handle different types of air pressure, winds, and rough landings. Chances are very, extremely low that the bird would have taken even the slightest physical trauma from the throw or landing.

I volunteer at an animal sanctuary and I'm sorry to say that the fall would probably have caused the poor thing to go into shock and die. Depending on the drop. A foot or 2, no, anything higher than that, probably.

Well said.

/clap very well put. however i have to dissagree with you at only one point. i once had a bird fly thru my house and have my cat almost eat it. i grabbed it from my cats mouth, brought it outside, and threw it in the air for it to fly away. it didnt open its wings or anything, however we figured it was mostly from the shock of the attack. regardless, well put

STFU, troll

I'm pretty sure they can walk if they were able to throw the bird. Noob.

birds fall very lightly.
