The main fuel for migratory flights in many bird species is fat that is deposited in the bird’s body in large amounts when they migrate. The extent of migratory fat deposition correlates positively with distance. Thus, long-distance migrants exhibit the greatest changes in body mass, with gains of up to 100% above nonmigratory levels. In nature, fat deposition occurs primarily just before the crossing of major ecological barriers (e.g. seas and deserts), with maximum rates of net daily gain of more than 10% of lean body mass.
