Biotic factors comprise humans and Predators. Abiotic factors affecting bird migration involve Pollution, Global warming, skyscrapers, electric towers, oil spills etc.. Migratory birds abide by celestial cues from the sun and stars, and inborn established routes. Majority of the avian species migrate to fulfil their demands. They migrate in response to depleting resources or due to undesirable conditions. Migrant birds often face several challenges during their flyover.
