            Question 4.
            \nRead the following paragraph.
            \nSometimes at night we see birds flying in groups. These birds which do not have permanent nestlings and join into small flocks and move from one region to other for food and shelter called as ‘Migration’ and such birds are called Migratory birds. During the rainy season most of the birds from far away places migrate to Kolleru and Pulicat lakes of our state. They build their nests on the trees in the nearby villages. Due to the cut down of trees, less number of birds are coming to here.
            \nAnswer the following questions.
            \na) What are Migratory birds ? Why do they migrate one place to another?
            \nb) What are the reasons for less number of birds migrating to India?
            \nAnswer:
            \na) The birds which are moving in flocks from one region to other for food and shelter are called \u201cmigrating birds\u201d.
            \nb) Due to cutting down of trees in the villages near the lakes, birds are facing scarcity of their nesting habitats.<\/p>\n

            2. Use paper only if we need.<\/li>\n
            3. We should use electronic transfer methods for our daily transactions.
              \nEx: Paying of electricity bills, filling of online application but not paper application.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

              Question 6.
              \nStudy the following para and answer the questions.
              \nDid you get the same number and types of birds every day ? Was there any sudden variation in a particular season ? Did you notice any new type of bird population in any season ? Discuss with your friends about the effect of the presence of such a population. Why do these birds move from one place to another ? Sometimes at night we see birds flying in groups. Where do they fly? Think. Sometimes some birds live in the same habitat throughout the year. Other birds which don\u2019t have permanent nestlings and join into small flocks and move from one region to the other for food and shelter (nesting habits) called as \u2018Migration\u2019 and such birds are called as \u2018migratory birds \u2019. During rainy season most of the birds from far away places migrate to Kolleru and Pulicat lakes of our State. They build their nests on the trees in the nearby villages also. In the olden days people believed that these migrated birds are divine ones. But nowadays most of the trees are getting cut down. There is hardly any place for birds to build their nests.
              \na) What does the above information says?
              \nb) What you say the birds come to our places from distant places?
              \nc) What should we do for the birds to migrate to our place?
              \nd) Name some migratory birds.
              \nAnswer:
              \na) Affects of deforestation on bird migration in Kolleru.
              \n(Or)
              \nLoss of bird habitats due to cutting down of trees in Kolleru.
              \nb) Bird migration.
              \nc) 1) Avoid cutting of trees in lake areas strictly.
              \n2) We should strictly monitor the increased human activities in all lake areas.
              \nd) Great spotted wood pecker, pelicans, coaltit, Siberian cranes.<\/p>\n
