I've been wondering about this since last year. Finally have an answer and it's truly sad. From the article- I think it's time to stop saying cats are the main danger for birds.
"On New Year’s Eve 2010, approximately 5,000 red-winged blackbirds crashed into houses, buildings, and trees during the annual fireworks display, dropping to the ground dead. It happened again the following year, causing police to impose an impromptu fireworks ban.
Low-noise fireworks have been around for more than 30 years, and while they certainly aren’t silent, they are a much quieter option. Average fireworks crack off at anywhere from 140 – 170 decibels, enough to cause hearing damage. Comparatively, low-noise fireworks are about 70 decibels, reducing the noise for our animal friends by more than half.
So why aren’t more Americans making the switch to quieter fireworks? Sadly, the answer comes down to preference. When given a side-by-side comparison, most people prefer traditional fireworks."
So, my questions are answered you can't turn a rock into a tree.

Low-Noise Fireworks Exist, So Why Won't We Use Them?
The technology to make fireworks far less frightening to our pets has been around for more than 30 years, but very few Americans use it.
