Overview
of Birds Birds are expert navigators and have the remarkable ability to migrate hundreds or even thousands of miles within a single season. They use a combination of visual landmarks, magnetic fields and the stars to navigate, and utilize their acute sense of smell to find food resources along their route. By migrating, birds are able to take advantage of food and other resources which are only available in certain areas at certain times. This adaptation helps them survive difficult weather and food shortages, and also allows them to breed in more hospitable climates. Migration of birds is a remarkable phenomenon which helps maintain the balance of nature and is crucial for the survival of many species.
