Reasons why birds live in groups
Birds like to live with each other in many situations.
This is to avoid many
of the things that we will learn about in this article.
We will learn about the main reasons why birds live side by side. In addition to the reasons for the migration of birds, is this their choice or is it something instinctive.

Collective bird life:
As we
know that birds are creatures, we often see them living together. Like
Swallows, zebra finch or parrots
(badgie, macaw, casco)
Unlike
most predatory birds that prefer to live alone, such as eagles. This is because she does not want others to
share her hunting, or to form a competition over the prey she is targeting.
But most other birds prefer to live within universities and migrate within large flocks. But why does she prefer to live in flocks?
Why are birds in pairs?
What causes birds to form in flocks:
There
are many reasons why birds prefer to live in groups.
Feeling
safer than staying alone
Its
exposure to predation is weaker because there are hundreds around it
Gain
experience in hunting methods, or finding food, by learning from the oldest birds
in the flock
Distracting
the attention of predatory animals and birds, making it difficult for them to
hunt
Ease
of movement and migration by forming rows that break air currents.
Easy
to find a mating partner
The
ability to protect young from predators, due to the large numbers of young
Quickly

We
have also seen that there are many positives, which make birds choose to live
in groups. But is it easy for birds to
live in groups? How do birds live in
flocks?
How birds live in groups:
Living
in groups may be the main reason why many species of birds remain extinct. The great power of birds living in flocks is
the speed of reproduction.
Some
types
Between every 10 young people, 6 or 7
die
. This
means that living together is the only option for rapid reproduction as some
die and some live.
For
birds to live in groups means competition between males over females, and over
power to the point that many species fight each other to the death.
Living
in groups for species that live on fish.
Sometimes it is difficult, because competition for fish and fishing
location increases.
Sometimes
a weak husband never gets food and he and his children die because he was
unable to bring them food.
Another
negative thing is that birds do not help each other in caring for the
young. This means that if a bird is
preyed upon while going to bring food, this means that the young die of hunger.
What is a
group of birds flying together called?

Why do birds migrate from one place to another:
There
are many reasons depending on each type or species of bird. But these are the main reasons among all bird
species that migrate.
Escaping
from cold climates, such as swallows always migrate to areas with moderate
temperatures.
In
order to reproduce.
Climate
changes.
Environmental
changes are often caused by humans. For
example, the types of birds that live by eating insects, sometimes due to
spraying insecticides and eliminating insects on a large scale, these birds are
forced to migrate to that place.
Migration
for food, this reason is often for species that eat names. The types of birds that catch fish migrate to
places where they are abundant. (They
often migrate twice a year, seasonally.).

How migratory birds tolerate long-distance flying:
Birds
often do not travel long distances at once.
Rather, it rests in many areas where it eats and sleeps to renew its
energy.
Sometimes
birds stay in the same area for days if they feel safe, before they continue
their migration.
But
sometimes birds are forced to travel long distances in some areas, because they
are unsafe, meaning they cannot rest there.
In
this case, the oldest member leads the herd, where he is at the front and the
others behind him are in the shape of the letter 7

When do birds return to their homelands:
Birds
return to where they were born, instinctively when they feel it is time to
return.
But
birds often return to their habitat after a year of absence, because bird
migration is seasonal.
The
reason for her return is to give birth to children, so this process continues
for thousands of years.
Living birds in groups is a biological thing that they have been doing since their first day on Earth. Without living in groups, many of the beautiful species we know today would not have become extinct.
