Highly unlikely that anyone would actually “survive” a zombie apocalypse. It’s more a question of how long you’d last, and for the vast majority of people that would be just days.
For example, if you live in a major city, it’s highly unlikely you’d have enough supplies at home to wait out the initial chaos. Heading to the supermarket to fist-fight over a can of beans, or going to the gas station, is exactly what everyone else is doing too - and that’s where you either get killed by a panicking human or bitten by the infected.
Even if you had the foresight to stock enough supplies to bunker down in your apartment for a few weeks (by far the safest place for you to be), you’d still be trapped inside a city full of the walking dead. The odds could not be more stacked against you.
I actually live on the outskirts of a city, in the intersection of major motorways and a walking distance from the small but interactions airport we have. As in I regularly take walks which go within a stones throw of the airport area and I’ve been in the back buildings they have there, fucking around with old lockers and the airplane stairs they’d use to use and whatnot. (Free clay balls for my gardening hobby as well dumped in a pile there, clearly abandoned.)
And I’m pretty sure I could manage to get Cessna sized plane up, I’ve played enough simulators.
Everyone here is so negative about all of this. I’d have much better chances at a life worth living than I do in this bureaucratic hellscape. Not really, probably, because once the convenience of everything gets taken away, it seems way less fun. But yeah not everyone is in the same situation. One of the other commenters was a trucker in, I assume, the US. That’s a mobile apartment with torque enough to drive through any zombies. That guy isn’t stuck in a city.
I dunno, I’m pretty sure you’d only have to hold out for the few days it would take for the birds/ants/etc to eat through the major tendons on all the zombies, rendering them immobile, and then you’d be completely safe and the massive clean-up project could begin.
We’re talking about zombies here - they’re fictional, magical creatures that laws of nature don’t apply to. If it did, we wouldn’t have zombies in the first place.
Zombies don’t have heartbeat, don’t eat, drink or sleep. They decay extremely slowly and can only be killed by destroying the brain.
Unless anything magical/sci fi like in dead island going on i doubt there is enough food to support them for long. My guess is most run out of calories in 2 weeks. Then it gets to manageable levels.

Sure, the birds/ants/etc aren’t going to kill the zombies, but without any tendons the zombies aren’t going to pose much of a threat.
Oh and depending on the pop culture mythology you’re using, also fire.
