Most birds in the wild only live for a few years, and very few will die from ‘natural’ causes. They are very unlikely to survive to old age for example. Small birds are a vital link in a food chain, eating insects, other invertebrates and small amphibians, and are in turn predated themselves by other birds and mammals. This is one reason why they have so many young: to compensate for predation, and why they are able to breed at such a young age – usually the year after they’re born if they …

In fact, very few birds die of old age in the wild. They are a vital part of the food chain, eating insects, fish, amphibians, and smaller birds, and they in turn are preyed upon by larger birds and mammals. This is why they produce such large numbers of offspring and why they begin breeding at such an early age. Most British garden birds, for example, are sexually mature at just one year, but will only live for a year or two more in the wild. When kept in captivity the same species will …

Many birds live much longer than this. But not all birds live as long, especially when they are victims of predation. Or when there is a food shortage and they starve. I suppose when birds are about to die of sickness or old age, they do not move to some exposed areas. Usually they hide in the undergrowth or among the foliage of plants. And when they actually succumb to death, their bodies do not lie around as such for long.

Where do the birds go to die? – Quora
Birds that are unwell or dying will try to find a secluded spot in which to recover or to die. They rarely die on the wing which is why we don’t see dead birds in large numbers. They go to ground and if they die, they will be consumed fairly quickly by all the forces of nature. We currently have an old wallaby eking out its final days but it is very unlikely to die in our garden. Like a bird, when the time comes, it will seek a quiet and protected spot and cease to be. Hopefully in peace …
