One result of climate change is that spring is arriving earlier. However, migratory birds are not keeping up with these developments and arrive too late for the peak in food availability when it is time for breeding. By getting the birds to fly a little further north, researchers in Lund, Sweden, and the Netherlands have observed that these birds can give their chicks a better start in life.

    The actual unedited title of this is

    Migratory birds can be taught to adjust to climate change, study shows

    (Shame on op for editorializing this title)

    The birds didn’t “adapt.” They were captured, put in a van, and driven 600km north. The birds don’t do this by themselves.

      I was going to mention… north is a limited resource.

      And what about Australia.

    Lol. Cool story, bruh.

    Let’s see them adapt to the endless expansion of humanity and the inevitable destruction of their nesting grounds.

    Sorry if this seems overly cynical, but I just watched a video on mass salmon die off in BC, and note that half of BCs salmon spp. Could be gone by 2050.

      Not just Salman either. Tons of sea life are getting pushed towards extinction.

      I was wondering about this, plus what species are they invading upon by moving further north?
