	Migration of Birds
		Throughout human experience, migratory birds have been important as a source of food after a lean winter and as the harbinger of a change in seasons.
		The essential ingredient in studying migration by this method is to have an adequate series of specimens taken during the breeding season so differences in appearance between geographically separated breeding populations of the same species can be discerned.
		Although not suffering the metabolic demands and hazards of migration, the energetic demands for survival and reproduction in an environment with a greater annual range of climactic variation, and the need to adapt to the seasonal changes in the availability and kinds of foods, are comparable.

	Report by Shahrbanou Tadjbakhsh, Human Development Report Office, UNDP
		The Commission on Human Security (CHS) held a regional consultation co-hosted by the Turkmen Institute of Democracy and Human Rights and the UNDP Regional Bureau for Europe and the CIS for the five countries of Central Asia: Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan.

		Migration and displacement of people are indicators of human insecurity in the country of origin and create risks to the human security of the host country.

		Migration starts in autumn and the generation that migrates, lives much longer than the other generations that lived in the same year.
