When it storms, where do the birds go?

When rain, hail or lightning hits, we typically run for shelter indoors and wrap up in cosy attire. But what happens to birds?
Well, they "batten down the hatches too", according to Birdlife Australia manager Dr Holly Parsons.
"A bit of rain doesn't worry many birds but in a particularly bad storm, birds are going to seek some shelter — so they're going to pop up on your back deck," she said.
"They're going to find some dense shrubs and they'll be going into trees close to tree trunks and holding on tight."
