And during colder or warmer periods, birds may alter their routines based on where food and shelter are available.
Nature is constantly adjusting.
What Should You Do If Birds Are Flying Low?
Usually?
Nothing at all!
Just enjoy the show.
If you’re outside, take a moment to watch where the birds are going. You may be able to figure out whether they’re feeding, landing, traveling, or reacting to something nearby.
If you’re driving,
however, use extra caution when birds are flying close to the road. Birds can change direction suddenly.
And if you notice unusually large numbers of birds behaving strangely, look for obvious environmental causes such as predators, construction, food sources, or sudden disturbances.
