What are migratory birds?
Migratory birds are those who migrate from one location to another to breed, feed and raise their offspring. They usually migrate from unfavourable locations to some favourite places which are having suitable conditions along with sufficient food and water resources and are safe as well. The majority of the birds migrate during the breeding season and others migrate for food resources and because of changing seasons.
