MIGRATORY BIRDS: A SWALLOW´S MIGRATION

0:05 Hello kids!

0:07 Won't it be great if we could just pack our bags and keep flying from place to place?

0:12 Hey, but you can't do that because you don't have wings like me!

0:18 Oh yes, you're right but there's one major difference..

0:22..between you and my friends out there!

0:25 And that is?

0:26 You're a Migratory bird, silly!

0:30 Oops, why didn't that strike me?

0:33 Doesn't matter!

0:34 You go take your flight.

0:36 And I'll tell my friends all about birds like you!

0:40 Aww! I feel so special, Dr. Binocs!

0:46 Come friends, let's know more about Migratory birds.

0:50 Zoom in!

0:52 Migratory birds are those birds that travel from one place to another..

0:57 ..at regular intervals over long distances.

1:01 And they migrate to escape the cold harsh winter weather..

1:05 ..in search of food and a warm cozy shelter.

1:09 There are various types of Migratory birds.

1:13 Resident Birds!

1:15 Pigeons and Doves are a good examples.

1:18 These birds just don't migrate.

1:21 They are able to find food and warm shelter where they are staying.

1:27 We might not travel a lot, Dr. Binocs but we do spread love..

1:31 ..all around, from place to place!

1:35 Short Distant Migrants.

1:37 Robins are short distant migrants.

1:40 As the name suggests, these birds move only a short distance..

1:45 ..from lower elevations to mountain side.

1:49Hey, but don't you mistake me for a nightingale..

1:53 ..I might look like one but I am not. Okay?

1:56 Oh, my friends won't! They are very smart, aren't you guys?

2:02 Medium Distant Migrants.

2:05 These birds travel over distances that cover several states.

2:09 They don't really travel a lot but not that they won't travel less..

2:14 ..isn't it Mr. Blue Jay?

2:17 You seem to know me quite well, Dr. Binocs.

2:21 But there's one more secret about me! You wanna know?

2:24Sure, tell us! We are all waiting!

2:29 I am quite mischevious, Dr. Binocs, because I hunt more than I can eat!

2:36 Long Distant Migrants.

2:38 These birds travel typically from United States and Canada..

2:42 ..to wintering grounds in Central and South America.

2:47 The Artic Tern is an example of Long Distance migrants.

2:51 And I am the record holder for covering the longest distance of 44,000 miles!

2:58 Oh my! That's huge!

3:01 Just to let you know, the circumference of the Earth..

3:05 ..is approximately 29,000 miles!

3:09 So imagine how much these birds travel!

3:14 Trivia Time!

3:16 Before migrating, many birds enter a state of Hyperphagia..

3:20 ..where the hormone levels compel them to drastically increase their body weight..

3:25 ..to store fat to use as energy while traveling.

3:29 And some birds also have the ability to sense the Earth's Magnetic field..

3:35 ..to help them navigate!

3:38 So I need to travel now.

3:40 Wait till I come back next!

3:42 Tune in next time for more fun facts!

3:45 This is me Fly... Zooming out! Bye.
