Actually, as someone has already stated, birds do not fly because their
wings push down. They fly because air flows forward over their wings and
their wings are shaped such that it has a longer path over the top of the
wing than the bottom. Therefore, the pressure above the wings is lesser
and lift is created. Therefore, I'm going to stick my neck out and say
that when all the birds are flying in the truck or the airplane, their
weight is at least decreased.
