How are birds affected by flood?

Floods can significantly impact birds by destroying their habitats, such as wetlands and nesting sites, leading to loss of food sources and shelter. Many species may struggle to find safe areas for nesting and raising their young, resulting in decreased reproductive success. Additionally, flooding can cause direct harm to birds through drowning or exposure to contaminated water and debris. Some birds may adapt by relocating to higher ground, but rapid changes in their environment can pose severe challenges to their survival.
