Question

'Hyperphagia' is the reduction in diet by birds before migration. True or False?

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B

False

The statement is false because, hyperphagia is the excessive eating carried out by birds accumulating energy for their long flight during migration. For birds who are about to migrate, food means survival. For example, hummingbirds feed intensely before migration. The tiny birds spend more time than usual in lapping up nectar and eating insects.
