Ornithologists made an interesting discovery. They discovered why birds like to chat during migration and how they bond with their mates on long journeys. A new study has revealed that birds communicate with other species during migration.
Scientists from the University of Illinois discovered that birds make friends with other species at their stopovers during migration. It turns out they can even communicate to gather important information about their journeys, according to the journal Current Biology.
Researchers used artificial intelligence to detect the characteristic flight calls of 27 different bird species. They were able to measure how often certain searches occurred simultaneously.
The analysis revealed that different species, especially those with similar wing lengths, “talk” during flight. According to the researchers, this is most likely because they fly at about the same speed, making it easier for them to communicate.
Scientists have found that birds that make similar sounds are more likely to communicate with each other. Scientists suggest that some songbird species that cannot rely on their parents to guide them may rely on social connections with other individuals to make the journey.
