when we compare it with that of manmade aircraft which is orders of
magnitude greater (for a helicopter p = 4 to 5 %; and p = 12 % for a jet
plane). 73
As the example of this bird shows, there is no room for coinci-
dences in migratory flight. On the contrary, there are fine mathemati-
cal calculations that we have not included here. This efficient way of
flying, which even man has not yet succeeded in duplicating, raises a
number of questions:
How does the bird know the exact energy requirement?
How is it possible for the bird to accumulate the exact amount of
required fat before the journey?
How does the bird know the distance and the specific rate of
fuel consumption?
How does the bird learn the migration
route?
