Obiously birds are more intelligent than news anchors as it is quite calm in the eye.

They’re the safest birds in a thousand square miles!

Aren’t Atlantic storms the reason why we have cattle egrets in the Americas?

We need to detonate a hydrogen bomb inside the eye wall to disperse the clouds and save the birds!!!

They are just resting plotting their trajectory. They know they will pick up flight time so no rush.

Even a multitude of bird brains can’t figure things out.

Ya, how crazy is this. So we’ve never seen wildlife affected by weather events??? These things happen in nature.

That is what I have heard. We didn’t have them when I was a kid and they are common now.

They are a pretty bird and I don’t think they do any harm. You very often see them hanging around or even on top of cattle.

It’s not especially unusual for bird species to be carried completely out of their normal range in the eye of a hurricane. Flocks of them were noteworthy in 1954 with Hazel in NC.

The birds need, for their safety, to land on that ice sheet carrying the white polar bear.

If they could get in their, then they can get out of their.

They go to ground and live through the front side of the hurricane, the eye passes over, they fly away, then the eye carries them out to sea. Unless they’re sea birds, they have nowhere to land until the eye makes landfall.

Good. Perhaps they can resolve their gender identity issues whilst they are flying around in circles.

Oh yeah. Well, if they all landed on an island somewhere, they’d probably tip it over. Se we got that going for us.
