How is a shadow formed explain?
A shadow is made when an object blocks out light coming from a light source. because there is less light particles in that area, surfaces don't reflect as much, making it darker in that area. that is why you can't see when there is no light source.
Can a reflection be a shadow?
It is actually impossible to reflect a shadow, as a shadow is merely an absence of light. However, what IS reflected is the light surrounding the shadow. When this light is reflected, it forms a reflected image of the light's shape, complete with a lack of light, or shadow. In this way, it can look like a shadow is reflected.

Is shadow always black?
If Shadow is a horse, then no. Shadow may be white or brown. Else, if you are referring to a shadow produced by blocking out light with an object, then yes.

Is a shadow translucent?
The shadow is not a solid 'black' colour. It can be the same colour as the object and the shadow allows you to see through it more than an opaque objects shadow. An opaque object would block the light but a translucent object would give a shadow that you could quite easily see through
Why the shadow of flying bird is not seen on the ground even though it is opaque?
If you see a bird but do not see a shadow on the ground, it is probably because of the angle the light is coming from. If you drew an imaginary line form the source of light, (probably the sun) through the bird, you would find the shadow of the bird where the line touched the ground. If there is no light, the bird cannot make a shadow.
