tons because they fly over the smoke that the gas produces Answer: Nobody knows and nobody has a way of calculating the number. Specific bird related death rates are occasionally developed for rare, endangered or "cute" birds, usually after a pollution incident. The general "bird deaths" number has never been calculated.

To calculate the number it would be necessary to determine:

* Number of birds of all species alive at any given time. * Total mortality rate from all causes (sickness, age, predation, running into buildings, wind power systems) * Percentage attributable in whole or in part to pollution. This is far more than a life's work. Additionally, the data would be changing as fast as you could collect it. . Pollution is massive (consider Global Warming) and local (consider point sources from factories which are only a problem for a small area), and there isn't a good way to get a handle on it in an attempt to effect changes. The problem is just "out there" and bringing it home takes massive effort.
