Can a bird smell its predators?

Birds do have a sense of smell. It is more developed in larger birds such as the albatross and fulmars. Many seabirds can smell fish oils from a very long distance (25kms in some cases), they can also smell pheromones that fish give off when distressed. Smaller birds have a less developed sense of smell but some rely partly on smell to navigate and to choose nesting materials. Some birds (like ducks) can smell when the female duck is ready to mate.

So it is possible that birds partially use scent to detect predators but the placing of their eyes on either side of their head is likely to be the better option for avoiding predators.

What is om ah hum vajra guru padma siddhi hum means?

This is the mantra of Padmasambhava, 'The Lotus-Born One'. He is attributed with having brought the Dharma (Buddhism) to Tibet.

These syllables can be thought of as Padmasambhava in sound form.

There is no real translation - they don't really 'mean' anything, at least not logically speaking. But...

'Om' is supposedly the purest, most fundamental sound in the universe. It is called a 'seed syllable'. 'Ah' and 'Hum' are also seed syllables - together they can be seen as representing body, speech and mind.

'Vajra' is a key symbol in Mahayana Buddhism. It means 'diamond' and also 'thunderbolt', and relates to the unification of opposites and to overcoming (or smashing through) obstacles.

'Guru' means something like 'teacher'. And 'Vajra guru' is a synonym of Padmasambhava.

'Padma' means lotus, and is another key Buddhist symbol.

'Siddhi' means 'spiritual power' or 'spiritual attainment'.
