NASA was contemplating sending canaries into space to study them under zero gravity.
However someone realized that despite having sufficient water supplies, the birds could die of dehydration within a few hours. Consequently, the project was scrapped.
Provide adequate reasoning as to why these birds would die of dehydration.

I remember reading somewhere a long time ago that birds need a gravity assist to swallow properly.
