Birds and human beings are 2 fairly different animals. Birds do not in many cases have the excellent thing approximately man made heating and air-conditioning. They migrate because of the fact the interior of sight circumstances grow to be detrimental for them for the period of the warm summers or chilly winters, or because of the fact of alternative detrimental components. some (such because of the fact the Arctic Tern, flying some 24,000 miles according to 12 months) fly a million/2-way around the Earth in migratory sessions. What a pity they don't classify for further Mileage...

The Arctic tern is the champion but it is closely followed by the short-tailed and sooty shearwaters that breed around Tasmania in southern Australia and fly right round the Pacific over Japan to Alaska to California before going home.

sterna paradisaea,.............. the Arctic Tern.
It breeds in the southerly reaches of the Arctic,....... and the winters in the Antarctic.
A ROUND TRIP between both points is over 35,000 kilometres.
