The arrival of migratory birds is pretty interesting.  Birds from different countries across the ocean come and live for a couple of month. They make the surrounding worth to look for.  There are thousands of migratory birds that we can see in India.  Some comes from far away land and few from our neighbouring countries.

Why Do Birds Migrate?

A very obvious question which many a times strikes our conversation is that why do birds migrate to different countries?  There are several reasons hidden behind migration of a bird.

• The most primary reason for migration is Food- Every bird migrates to different countries for the search of food.  If birds stay in the same region for one whole year then there can be scarcity of food.  Once a year birds migrate to different land for food.  Again after a certain point of time they return back to their own destination.
• Migration for family- Just like human beings birds also care about the health and growing up of little ones in their family.  Change in place can help to raise their little ones, enhance their health and keep them in a better condition
• Climate– This is another crucial factor behind migration. Due to change in climate at frequent interval birds’ travel to various other regions to lead a better life. During winter one can see various birds from the westend cold region travelling to India to get a moderate climate.
