How would the food web be affected if jaguars went extinct?

If the main predator is removed from an area, the prey animal population in the area will increase. If the increase of previously prey animals becomes too much, the environment will suffer. A balance between the number of predators, compared to the prey animals available, ensures that the environment will also be balanced, and only healthy animals will thrive.

What do birds do when there about to die?

Sick birds go into hiding, not so much to die but to protect themselves from predators and attempt to increase their chances for recovery and survival. Animal reflex guides then to find a shelter, under bushes, under rocks, in cracks, whatever. If they don't make it, the "food chain" ensures that their remains disappear (worms and bacteria) practically totally, maybe taking longer for bones, beaks, teeth… And a number of number of healthy birds die under the teeth of their predators, so their bodies are not found either.
