Not usually, since their nesting area is where they migrate from. Most miagratory birds migrate due to the change in the amount of light available to them for food gathering. However in captive breeding programs it has been found that you can stimulate a nesting pair to mate by providing a light source at a longer interval even in the winter time.

I have wondered this but yet to research it. I would think they would nest at both ends of the trip. It is just starting to be spring in the south and the birds are just now starting to arrive there. I would think being it is spring they would start building a nest just like they would if they were here in the spring of the year. From my understanding birds are controlled by the amount of light in the day. So hey it is spring down south so why not?

no they only fly south when the wheather changes and comes back after a while i don't think they make babies cos if they even do the babies will die cos the wheather would'nt be condusive for them

if you had to walk as far as they fly would you want to mate?
