Solution

The correct option is A 27,133
Number of birds in the sanctuary = 33,289

Number of birds that migrated = 5,456

Number of birds left = Total number of birds – Number of birds that migrated

= 33,289 – 5,456

Let's subtract the numbers using vertical subtraction.

Vertical subtraction is a method of subtracting where the numbers are lined up in columns according to their place values.

Therefore, the total number of birds left is 27,133.
