Best Answer

Birds require gravity to swallow. Only insignificant amounts of gravity are experienced in outer space, so the birds would not be able to swallow and would therefore starve1.

Why cant the space shuttle land in the rain?

If the space shuttle were a powered aircraft it would be able to land in the rain just fine. The problem with the rain isn't actually the rain, but the dense clouds that go with it. The space shuttle, while landing, is only a glider. It doesn't have the capability to 'go around' if there is a problem while it is approaching the landing site. NASA plays it safe and only lands the shuttle when the conditions are at their safest.
