Mountain birds photo with names | highland birds

Highland birds use:

  1. all year round, for example, partridges;
  2. for laying eggs. Birds living on the coast give offspring among the rocks, for example, the American ashy snail;
  3. during the flight to warmer climes for recreation. Songbirds and water birds, predators and others stop in the mountains.

Living conditions in the mountains are harsh, so high-mountain birds differ from relatives living in forests and meadows. They have larger bodies to withstand the force of the wind, thick feathers, they protect from cold winds. Eating habits correspond to a meager diet obtained from stones and sparse vegetation.

Conclusion

Mountain birds survive at heights unsuitable for life. Bird organisms have undergone changes and developed adaptations that include:

  • increased gas exchange;
  • rapid diffusion of oxygen to muscle fibers;
  • increased wingspan, which reduces the energy cost of flying in low density air.
  • High altitude is difficult for birds to fly, flight qualities are affected by:

  • wind speed;
  • temperature;
  • air density.
  • These factors disrupt the biomechanics of the feathered body (lifting and hovering).

    However, living high in the mountains has its positive aspects. Birds do not suffer from human intervention.
