Assuming birds escape a fire, smoke might still affect their health in ways that aren’t very well understood. Scientists have found that smoke can damage lung tissue and leave the animals susceptible to potentially lethal respiratory infections.

Answer:

If a forest fire occurs it will impact a population of birds that nest in those trees because their habitat will be burnt down. This will provoke the birds to find a new habitat which can be hard if the entire forest is burnt down. Additionally resources such as food will be burned down as well.
