Mark, thank you for this insight and thorough answer. Perhaps that's why the birds in this blokes dream are all dead because they crash into stuff..
I am no expert, but I agree, that a bird would be used to countering gravity and therefore would lose some control in none.
I thought similar about the more aerobatic species too, as a moth, with a relatively slow wingbeat, might have less directional and momentun/inertia control than something with a much faster wingbeat say, like a bee.
I bet an eagle would have great difficulty in zero g, but a hummingbird would have no problem.
