Some of the threats to Migratory Birds in India are as follows:
- Bad weather and predation
- Hunting, trapping, habitat loss, collision with buildings, windows and other man made structure
- Wind farms and power lines can cause mortality
- Rapid change in climate affecting their migration period
- Pollution, habitat loss, use of chemicals like Diclofenac causing mortality and endangering the birds
Steps need to be taken to tackle this problem
- Provide bird friendly landscape on the migration route
- Keep bird feeders and source of clean water on the way
- Conserve and clean their natural habitat 4) Use windows which don’t reflect in the locality
- In nighttime migration season switch off the lights of the buildings in the night
