4th of July and panicked birds? Dangerous?

My sympathies for your loss. Losing a dog is so hard.
My English Setter is 12 years old. We may be approaching his last season of fireworks also.

Is that him in your avatar? That's a handsome fella! And thank you! It was hard but he gave us so much that holding him in those last moments felt more peaceful than sad, you know? I just wish he'd pull some favors in doggy heaven and send us another just like him! He would have been great with chickens

Yes, that is Pete. When he was young I called him my "Circus Dog" because he would stand on his hind legs, walk across the room and dance for treats, lol. He would have been adorable with a pink tutu and that beautiful coat of his. Now some days he has trouble getting up from his bed because his hips are getting bad.
This dog loves to point - he points the robins, he points the toads, he points the weed on the other side of the fence that he can't quite see clearly - but hey, they are moving!

Nemo (our boy) was like that with low, rumbling warning growls. When his sight and hearing started going he'd alert on smells; cat going by an open window that didn't live here!? ALERT! Possum passing by an open bedroom window at 3am?! ALERT!

Pete sounds like a good boy and my kind of dedicated guy!
