It's not just us humans that are suffering from man-made global warming.

Birds are suffering, as well, and will have to migrate to different parts of the world to avoid extinction, according to a research study made by The Audubon Society.

The study analyzed the effects of global warming on birds until the year 2080. In it, the society saw that self-preservation will see familiar bird species migrate to unfamiliar places.

The Baltimore oriole won't be found in Maryland in the future. Also, the Mississippi kite is moving north and east and will no longer be seen in the state it was named after.

The California gull will rarely be spotted in California in the future. The American robin and the blue jay will also leave their familiar nesting grounds.

Bird species that will probably thrive in global warming are those that people don't exactly admire. The turkey vulture, the American crow and the mourning dove will most likely survive the hotter environment triggered by global warming.

Gary Langham, chief scientist and vice president of The Audubon Society, said global warming spells trouble for most birds.

For the next 60 years, more than half of the 588 species in North America will decrease in number and will have to move to other areas, Langham noted.

The research concluded that over 126 species will be living in smaller areas that will definitely endanger them. A further 188 species will have to relocate because their natural habitat would no longer be habitable.

These species will have to survive in an alien environment since the food and soil in their new habitats will be a lot different from what they've been exposed to.

Researchers used bird survey data from 2000 to 2009. Langham and his team used carbon-pollution scenarios provided by the United Nations to draw conclusions about the changes in bird species by 2020, 2040, and 2080.

Langham and his team noted that people to act quickly to avoid the coming avian catastrophe.
