One of the most mysterious
things in nature is the ability of certain creatures to find their way home,
sometimes from great distance. Birds are not the only ones who can do this.
Bees, eels, and salmon are able to return to a particular place after doing
journeys, too.
Most migrations take place
between breeding grounds and regions where animals feed. For some animals, such
as the lemming, the movement is a one -way trip. Scientists call this movement
emigration, because these animals never return to their homes.For other animals
such as birds,the migration includes a return trip home. Birds move in periodic
migration, or at regular times during their lives, and often to the same place
year after year.
Many experiments have been made
with birds in an attempt to find out what guides them on their way home. In one
case, seven swallows were taken 400 miles from home. When they were set free,
five of them returned to their nests. In another case, a certain kind of sea
bird was taken from its nests on the Welsh coasts to
Migrating birds offer an even
more amazing example of this ability. There are swifts and house martins that migrate
from
Certain types of butterfly
migrate, too and find their way home over long distances. In the tropics one
can sometimes see the great mass flights of butterflies all flying steadily in
one direction. They may go a thousand miles and more and then return again in
another season.
Despite all the efforts that
have been made to explain how these creatures find their way home, we still
have no sure explanation. Since many of the birds fly over great bodies of
water, we can not explain it by saying they use landmarks to guide them. Just
to say they have an 'instinct' does not really explain the rights condition.
The reason they do it may to obtain for good or to reproduce under the right
conditions. But the signals and guideposts they use on their flights are still
a mystery to man.
