How does global warming affect birds, other wildlife, and their habitats?
All organisms depend on their habitats for food, water, shelter, and opportunities to breed and raise young. Climate changes can affect organisms and their habitats in a myriad of ways. In fact, global warming impacts all life on earth, from individual organisms to populations, species, communities, and ecosystems. It can alter behaviors, population sizes, species distributions, plant and animal communities, and ecosystem functions and stability. How strongly different species will be affected varies, depending on differences in their ecology and life history. Species with small population sizes, restricted ranges, and limited ability to move to different habitat will be most at risk. Similarly, different habitats and ecosystems will be impacted differently, with those in coastal, high-latitude, and high-altitude regions most vulnerable.

You can expect the migratory pattern (in the northern hemisphere) to shift farther north. Since winters will be warmer, birds will have to migrate less farther south than they used to, and since summers will be warmer, they may migrate farther north in the summer.
But: don't forget the amount of global warming that is predicted: a few degrees Celsius. The amount may not be significant enough to greatly impact where the birds choose to settle. Rather, secondary factors brought on by global warming, such as areas flooding out or facing droughts may have a bigger influence on where the birds settle.

in case you look it up there is more suitable evidence hostile to global warming than for it. besides the undeniable fact that there is sooo a lot more suitable propaganda for global warming than hostile to it. 30 years in the past each and each of the scientists concept that it became global cooling and we were all going to freeze to death yet they stated it became going to take about 3 million years (also pretend). even as that got here with reference to the environmentalist realized 2 issues ; a million human beings can get issues to save them warmth, yet more suitable importantly it has to look like its gonna take position quick. they prefer it to look like its gonna take position quick because if no longer something is going to take position to you or absolutely everyone on your existence time why make investments in attempting to regulate it. so in the journey that they make it look like its gonna take position quick then anybody will throw funds at them to attempt to attach it. the biggest issue now inspite of the truth it truly is they don't look looking for evidence to come back up with a end they attempt to come back up with evidence to help a end already made up. like evolution

Badly probably,birds will probably not migrate,for they will not feel Winter coming if it is to hot and their food will go away leaving them to die from starvation.

It won't, they don't care about the temperature. They don't fly south because it gets too cold, they fly south because their food sources die off due to the cold. If the north stays warm, then their food won't die and they won't go south. That's it.
