In the morning, a bird took 4 hours to fly from east to west and back to the starting point.
However in the evening, the bird took 6 hours to fly from east to west and back to the starting point.
***Assuming the total distance travelled by the bird from east to west and back to the starting point ARE THE SAME
Why is there a difference of 2 hours?

| in the night the bird had to buy a map and the gas station was closed for two hours!!?? ;p |
| It got stuck in traffic =) |
| It was flying across timezones with daylight savings, therefore when the clocks went forward twice, the time increased. |
It flew slower.
First time it flew it was approaching the speed of light and therefore time was slower, second time around it didn't fly as fast so it took longer.
The Earth sped up and started spinning faster, therefore an hour became shorter.
It flew diagonally up second time and diagonally down on the first.
It realised that when it got back home again it would get nagged, so decided to make it last a little longer so could go straight to bed when he got back in. |
| well it may be due to direction of the wind which usually gets opposite in the evening so assuming it would reach in 5 hrs it took it 4 hrs due to wind blowing on the same side n 6hrs due to wind blowing opp. |
| It flew from East to North then North to West then West to East without passing through North or south |
| I got it. The bird took two extra hours to buy a calendar and copy the pics so he could upload them for his profile ? |
@11 Because he goes east to west and Back again, the headwind becomes a tailwind on the way back, so it shouldn't matter, unless the wind changes. So my answer is that the wind changed mid flight.
Another answer is because he was really tired after the 1st flight. |
traveling first time in morning he was having high moral
in evening his moral went down and his speed also |
| Daylight saving time adjustment |

| maybe because the bird flew into a pole and was unconscious for 2 hours? |
