Birds that cannot tolerate cold in winter.
Some birds move to tropical or warmer places because the winter temperature is unbearable for many of them. A few examples of birds that are unable to tolerate the cold are as follows:
Tailed Swallow
1.Tailed Swallow:Hirundo rustica, the scientific name for the Red Tailed Swallow or Barn Swallow, is a migratory bird species that cannot withstand the winter months. Lack of food and severe winters are major challenges for this bird, which thrives in warm summer climates. As a result, throughout the winter, the red-tailed hawk moves from colder to warmer tropical locations.
In most regions of North America, Asia, and Europe, red-tailed shearwaters spend the summer. They go to warmer regions of South America, Asia, and Africa in the early winter. They generally reside near open waterways and agricultural areas at this period, where their preferred food source—insects—is frequently accessible.
Magpie
2.Magpie:The Magpie of the East A popular bird in South and Southeast Asia is the robin. These birds are typically located in warm, level places and have a hard time surviving the winter. In winter, it is difficult for them to live a regular existence since their natural food sources—insects and tiny insects—are not readily available. For this reason, they often prefer warm or moderate regions.
Magpies from the East Robins spend a lot of energy to remain warm because of their tiny bodies. They suffer from severe cold and starvation during the winter. They thus go to locations that are comparatively warmer during the winter or seek refuge close to homesteads and thick forests, where winters are less common.
This bird is frequently spotted in gardens, parks, and rural places, particularly during the winter months.
3.watercock:watercock, scientifically known as Gallicrex cinerea, is a duck that is mostly found in Asia's warm, humid regions. Due to its inability to withstand cold, this bird struggles to live and feed in cold climates. Watercocks either move to warmer climates as a result.
Watercocks love to live in farmland, ponds, paddy fields, and damp places that are abundant in insects, aquatic plants, and tiny fish. In winter, they have fewer food sources, and the chilly temperatures make it harder for them to control their body temperature. Watercocks travel to warmer parts of South Asia, including Bangladesh, India, and other warmer Southeast Asian countries, in order to avoid winter.
4.Pied harriers:Pied harriers often prefer to remain in pastures, marshes, and open fields since they can readily hunt insects, reptiles, and small animals there. They migrate from the colder parts of North Asia to the warmer parts of South Asia, such as Bangladesh, India, and Southeast Asia, when winter arrives.
Since these birds' bodies and lifestyles are used to warm, temperate climes, their winter migration is crucial to their survival.
Cuckoo
5.Cuckoo:The scientific name of cuckoo is Cuculus canorus. Cuckoos get cold in winter and have less food available for them, which makes it difficult for them to survive. As a result, they are unable to withstand the cold and generally migrate to warmer regions during the winter.
Originally from Europe, Asia and Africa, the common cuckoo spends the winter in warmer regions or along the coasts of India, Bangladesh and Southeast Asia. For this migration they can easily find food, warm weather and comfortable living conditions, which are very important for them during winter.
