Detailed explanation-1: -Say bye to birds in the winter. As a group, they fly south to warmer temperatures. This behavioral adaptation is called migration. Migration looks different for different kinds of birds.

Detailed explanation-2: -Migration. Migration is the movement of a group of animals from one location to another, typically in order to change habitats or living environment. We might often think of birds “flying south” for the winter, but migration can be much more than that.

Detailed explanation-3: -Behavioral adaptation is the way a bird acts or behaves to stay alive. For example if the American Wigeon cannot find enough food, it will steal food right out of the bill of an American Coot, or a Snowy Egret will stand still in the water with its wings stretched out, because fish are attracted to the shade.

Detailed explanation-4: -Some animals have special adaptations to protect themselves from being hurt, killed, or eaten. These special defense mechanisms include physical adaptations such as quills and claws. Also includes behavioral adaptations such as taking flight, tricking (mimicry, playing dead), spraying, or fighting.

Detailed explanation-5: -Three physical characteristics in particular indicate unique adaptations to their environment: beaks (bills), feet, and plumage (feathers). Natural selection is the mode of evolution that makes living things well-suited (adapted) to their environments.
