 WHAT IS MIGRATION OF BIRDS?

• Migration is a natural process, whereby different

birds fly over distance of hundreds and
thousands of kilometers in order to find the
best ecological conditions and habitats for
feeding, breeding and raising their youngs.
 HOW MIGRATORY BIRDS TRACING THEIR
FLIGHTS

• Birds can get compass information from the

sun, the stars, and by sensing the earth’s
magnetic field. They also get information
from the position of the setting sun and
from landmarks seen during the day. There’s
even evidence that sense of smell plays a
role for many migratory birds.
 WHAT PATTERN DO MIGRATORY BIRDS FLY
IN?

• A V formation is a symmetric V-or chevron-

shaped flight formation. In nature, it
occurs among geese, swans, ducks, and
other migratory birds, improving their
their energy efficiency, while in human
aviation, it is used mostly in military
aviation, air shows, and occasionally
commercial aviation
