Bird Migration and Behavior

The video explores why birds fly and migrate, focusing on migration as a means to find food and suitable nesting locations. Birds migrate to escape cold seasons, traveling varying distances from short to long, with some like the Arctic tern covering over 20,000 miles annually.
