Birds migrate to avoid cold winter and in search of enough food supply. They migrate in summer to avoid the heat and in search of proper nesting sites. Birds migrate from northern regions to the southern regions in autumn and early winter. They undertake their return journey during spring and early summer. Bird migration is a seasonal activity.
