The actual unedited title of this is

Migratory birds can be taught to adjust to climate change, study shows

(Shame on op for editorializing this title)

The birds didn't "adapt." They were captured, put in a van, and driven 600km north. The birds don't do this by themselves.

I was going to mention… north is a limited resource.

And what about Australia.

Move more south

Lol. Cool story, bruh.

Let's see them adapt to the endless expansion of humanity and the inevitable destruction of their nesting grounds.

Sorry if this seems overly cynical, but I just watched a video on mass salmon die off in BC, and note that half of BCs salmon spp. Could be gone by 2050.

Not just Salman either. Tons of sea life are getting pushed towards extinction.

Holy shit why hasn't someone tried this already? We just move everyone north!
