Why do birds not die in mid air?

I suppose some do, but it would be very odd. The main reason is that, if a bird is near death, it's unlikely to be flying. If it is sick or tired, it will land for rest, where it may die if it is unable to recover.

I suppose it could be assumed that occasionally an otherwise healthy bird may spontaneously die mid-flight, due to causes such as heart attack, though I doubt this would be at all common and hence we'd rarely see it.

There is no bird save the humming bird that can actually stop in mid-air. There are some fishing birds that can hover but not come to a stop.
