How Birds Spend Autumn and How You Can Help Them
Autumn is a season of change, not only for people but also for nature. As the leaves color and the temperatures drop, birds adapt to the new conditions. For many species, autumn is a busy time full of preparations for the winter. But what exactly do birds do in autumn? Let's take a look into their fascinating world and find out how you can help them during this important time.

Trek to Warm Regions
One of the most striking behaviors of birds in autumn is bird migration. Many species, such as the swallow and stork, make a long journey south to escape the cold winter. This migration is an impressive phenomenon that often covers thousands of kilometers. The birds follow ancient, instinctive routes, driven by a combination of genetics and experience. The timing of this trek is perfectly tailored to changing weather conditions and food availability.
Inventory & Inventory
Not all birds choose to migrate. Some birds stay in their country and have to prepare for a cold winter. One way they do this is by stockpiling food. This behavior is particularly visible in species such as the jay, which collects acorns and hides them for later use. Storing food helps these birds survive when food becomes scarce.
