    English literature
    What are bird migration?

     Bird migration is the regular seasonal movement, often


    north and south along a flyway,
    between breeding and wintering grounds. Many species
    of bird migrate. Migration carries high costs in predation
    and mortality, including from hunting by humans, and is
    driven primarily by availability of food. It occurs mainly in
    the northern hemisphere, where birds are funneled on to
    specific routes by natural barriers such as
    the Mediterranean Sea or the Caribbean Sea.
    General pattern of migration
     Migration is the regular seasonal movement, often north
    and south, undertaken by many species of birds. Bird
    movements include those made in response to changes in
    food availability, habitat, or weather. Sometimes,
    journeys are not termed "true migration" because they are
    irregular (nomadism, invasions, irruptions) or in only one
    direction (dispersal, movement of young away from natal
    area). Migration is marked by its annual seasonality. Non-
    migratory birds are said to be resident or sedentary.
    Approximately 1800 of the world's 10,000 bird species are
    long-distance migrants.
    Migratory birds
     Migratory bird is a bird that travels from one place to another at
    regular times often over long distances. 
    Greater flamingo
     The greater flamingo is the most widespread and largest
    species of the flamingo family. It is found in Africa, on the
    Indian subcontinent, in the Middle East, and in southern
    Europe. 
     Scientific name: Phoenicopterus roseus
     Height: 1.1 – 1.5 m (Adult)
     Conservation status: Least Concern (Population increasing) 
     Mass: 2 – 4 kg (Adult)
     Higher classification: Phoenicopterus
     Family: Phoenicopteridae
     Food habits:  Flamingos eat larva, small insects, blue-green
    and red algae, mollusks, crustaceans and small fish
    Indian golden oriole
     The Indian golden oriole is a species of oriole found in the
    Indian subcontinent and Central Asia. The species was
    formerly considered to be a subspecies of the Eurasian
    golden oriole, but is now considered a full species. 
     Scientific name: Oriolus kundoo
     Higher classification: Old World orioles
     Rank: Species
     Class: Aves
     Family: Oriolidae
     Kingdom: Animalia
     Food habits: Golden orioles are carnivores (insectivores) and herbivores
    (frugivore). They feed mainly on small insects and fruits and sometimes
    seeds, nectar, and pollen. On rare occasions, they may catch small mammals,
    small lizards, eggs, and nestlings.
