Why would they send birds to find land?

Birds are often sent to find land because they have a natural ability to sense their environment and can cover large distances quickly. Their flight patterns and behaviors can indicate proximity to land, as many species tend to fly towards land when searching for food or nesting sites. Additionally, using birds as indicators is a time-tested method in navigation, especially before modern technology, helping sailors and explorers locate islands or coastlines.
