Can birds fly in clouds?
Stooging along at 4000' over that strip of coral off the coast here playing the mental vagabond, I wondered if birds actually can or do fly in cloud.
Are their ears and semicircular canals set up the same way as ours? Can they sense acceleration of less than 0.05m/s2 (our threshold)?
What do they do when it's all foggy for days on end in say the UK? or drizzling and rain with no horizon to speak of...surely not sit on the ground and starve.
Thanks
