I watched this documentary with my 4 and 6 year old, they were enthralled and wanted to watch it repeatedly! I do not know why this is rated for 7+. Any child who loves animals and the outdoors or who are curious about them will enjoy this film. We talked about gaming and trapping animals and what the kids would do if they ever saw an animal in the wild, trapped or otherwise. Good platform to talk about safety with wild animals.

What Parents Need to Know
About Winged Migration
Parents need to know that birds face peril on land and on the wing. Several are shot, a couple of them are caged, and some are preyed upon by other birds. A Red-Breasted Goose flounders in an oil refinery's effluent and is left behind by the flock in one scene while in another it is implied that a penguin chick is eaten by a scavenger. Young children might be disturbed by the inability of an injured Tern to escape from attacking crabs.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about how birds can either be helped or hindered by humans or something human-built. Is the help or hindrance intended? What could your family do that might make an impact on the lives of birds?
