I have noticed that birds stop singing when it rains. Are they hiding somewhere or is the rain preventing them to sing?

What do you think?

I find that it must rain fairly hard for the birds to quiet down. If anything, they seem more active during a drizzle...

My guess would be that they have no reason to be chirping and carrying on during a downpour. If it's raining too hard for birds to comfortably flit from tree to tree, there's no point calling out for mates or claiming territory.

because they are afraid enough to sing ,  rain is water and water is connected to drowning.

That's a remarkably abstract thought process to attribute to songbirds.

Also, birds happily use bird baths.

That sounds reasonable. Another contributing factor might be the noise that rain makes, which would make it more difficult for other birds to hear the songs (if the rain is intense enough).

I heard a bird singing today. It was raining pretty hard. But it was only one bird and I didnt hear it again after that.

Hi everyone;

Birds are stop singing when it rains because they are afraid to sing in the season of rain. Birds are getting scared from drowning in the water while raining, that's why birds are singing in rain.

As has been pointed out, birds are not afraid of water and will often bathe in streams and pools.
Also, birds don’t stop singing when it rains, but we are less likely to hear them.

Birds sing to attract a mate or warn others off their territory. They generally avoid flying in rain, so it's unlikely that any other bird will approach your territory in a downpour anyway, so no point in singing.
