Mission: Migration Game
 


In the spring and the fall, many birds fly long distances in search of food, water, shelter and space: the same basic things that you need to survive. Along these routes, they encounter many different types of habitats, from country and forest to neighborhoods and big cities, and at times, encounter dangers from both natural and manmade hazards.

In this game you will try to help your flock migrate safely by learning how choices you make each and every day around your home, school, and neighborhood can affect the fate of these migrating birds - in both positive and negative ways. By the time you're done, you'll have the skills and knowledge to help birds thrive and survive around your home.

DID YOU KNOW...??
Many birds follow the same routes year after year by using landmarks, the sun, moon, and stars. Some species even have their own internal compass in their brains to help direct them instinctively.
