None...the noise of the shot will have frightened those left away.
my thoughts exactly

Unless your gun has an effective silencer or you are sufficiently far away.  The effective of one bird falling on the other 999 cannot be calculated. 

So, 0 or 999 or somewhere in between

Or 99 even
or 99 even, had I read the question carefully
How about the dead one still being left dangling there? - Who's the daftest amongst us? the submitter of the puzzle or those who submit an answer?
Well, if you killed it by throwing a stone, you may have killed two if the old saying is anything to go by, leaving 98?
I might've painted all the branches with glue. Then they couldn't fly off....

A net would be more efficient...

unlike my last efforts at posting

 

there were 15 black cockatoos in a tree across the lake...I hit a golf ball at them and cleanly whacked one of them...it spiralled down...very dead.

the rest of the birds stayed sitting on the tree...they had no idea what had happened..

therefore.. I reckon they sat dumbstruck and didnt fly off

All wrong i'm afraid, the answer is 5! There were 5 ostriches......which couldn't fly away!

ha ha ha!

So, pray tell, how did the ostriches get 'on the tree' and wouldn't they run away at the gunshot?
