----------------------
Are they all grammatical? Does 1 mean 2? Are the rest all the same in meaning?

Answer 1

Does sentence 1 mean that the bird fell out of the sky and down into a tree? If so, then it's correct. Sentence 2, though, means the bird was in the tree and fell to a lower branch in the same tree.

3 and 4 are correct and mean the same thing. 5 is strange, though. I've never heard or read that phrasing!
