could a bird in flight get hit by lightning?

And if so, would the lightning strike cause any harm to the bird.

is the Hudson river mutating pigeons

Hi, recently in New York I saw a pigeon by the Hudson river. It seemed to have flight feathers growing out of its legs, making walking extremely difficult. Is this a known mutation? Is the Hudson river producing biplane pigeons?

Why would a bird fly upside down?

I saw this kittiwake flying upside down (see photo) in Norway's Svalbard archipelago - about 79 north - while we were stuck in the sea ice. This and other kittiwakes were feeding on polar cod (about 13 centimetres long) that had become uncovered as our ship broke through the ice.

What is it doing and why? How many other birds can do this?
