A rock is not alive. It does not meet any of the criteria necessary to be alive. I suppose if you look at it from a spiritual or philosophical angle it could be, but not scientifically.
A bird is alive, as long as its cells are still undergoing the metabolic cycle or respiriation. The point at which its cells can no longer turn nutrients into ATP, is called death. A bird, whos cells cannot respiriate or make any energy, is considered dead. At that point decomposition will start. No macrophages means no defence against microbes.
I can become the rock, air, or the flame, but I cannot become the live bird. I can take on the properties of a dead bird, but if I do, I smell of putrescene for a week afterwards.

This is one of those times I'm glad I don't have powers to worry about. Worry about? I do not worry about my powers,I simply embrace them and let them help me. Still, why wouldn't you want powers?I mean I understand you are more than just human, but you are ...How do I say this. From what I hear your abilities are only out growths of the human abilities.. You can do what humans can do but more so. Am I right?

It's more like I'm happy with what I got. Now that's a good additude. How do you understand your powers? That's easy, I don't. I've got no clue, and when I talk to the DV science guys about this, I always walk away still without a clue. My personal belief is the big secret to all this is that they don't have a clue either. What’s that word? Technobabble? Saying nothing while trying to sound like you know something?

Oh god, I love this question because I love yelling about how shitty my power is.
And let there be light.
Using my powers still takes an incredible amount of concentration on my part, and holding it is almost painful. I still haven't gotten over the headaches, I just try to not complain too much about them.
