Read, get informed, watch documentaries and move with people who would make you wiser.
Birds can fly a distance equal to circling the earth when migrating. Some could actually fly for weeks and months non-stop.

Only if they knew earlier it was from Europe, I'm sure they would be worshiping it

Have you ever heard of migrating birds, it is winter in Finland so they will fly south and return back to Europe during summer. There are birds that fly from the Arctic to Antarctica round trip a journey of 44,000 miles.

Its a simple study to check the migration pattern of bird globally. In a sane country, the bird should have been captured alive and with the ring information, the lab where it was released could be traced. With that you can establish the migratory patten and speed of such bird.

That could also be a multi-million research work gone into someone's pot of stew.

The bird was just migrating. It is a seasonal movement of birds.

It is unfortunate that Nigerians kill anything called animal. There is need to protect endangered species. Not every wild animal is meant to be killed.

Banding: Why and how are peregrines banded?
PGC's Beth Fife prepares to return a banded peregrine chick to its nest (photo by Jack Rowley, WPC)

Question: Why and how are peregrines banded?

Answer: Ever since the peregrine falcon population crashed after World War II, the species has been one of the most studied wild birds on earth.

As with any bird, scientists want to know “Where do they go?” The simplest way to find out is to place color and number-coded bands, like bracelets, on the birds’ legs. The codes are recorded in a national database that includes weight, sex and banding location.

When the banded bird is found months or years later, scientists consult the database and learn where the bird came from. The banders learn where the bird went on its journey.

https://www.birdsoutsidemywindow.org/peregrine-faqs/question-why-and-how-are-peregrines-banded/#:~:text=They%20fly%20at%20the%20intruders,peregrines%20try%20to%20draw%20blood.&text=When%20there%20are%20borderline%20weights,the%20female%20band%20is%20applied.

By law, only wildlife management agency personnel (US Fish and Wildlife and state wildlife agencies) and those they authorize are allowed to visit the nests. Banding can only be done by those who are licensed to do so.

The best time to band peregrines chicks is when they are between 22 and 30 days old. At this age they are adult size but have not fully grown their flight feathers. This means the correct bands can be applied and the chicks won’t attempt to fly away when approached. Beyond 30 days old they may jump from the nest prematurely believing that they can fly to escape – and it could kill them.

Collecting the chicks is a dangerous job. Not only is the nest high on a sheer cliff (or building) but the parents attack anyone approaching them. Peregrines are loud and fearless – even reckless – when protecting their young. They fly at the intruders and hit them with their sharp talons. If their chicks have been banded in prior years they become more aggressive with each succeeding banding event. One way or another peregrines try to draw blood.

After the chicks are collected they are weighed to determine their sex. Usually the weight difference is obvious: males weigh less than 700g, females weigh more than 800g. When there are borderline weights, such as 790g, the female band is applied. If time permits, the chicks are given a complete health check including a blood test and an exam for parasites and fungal infections.

The chicks are returned to the nest as soon as possible after the banding. At first the entire peregrine family is still upset but the parents soon calm down and the chicks fall asleep. I’ve noticed that adult peregrines who’ve witnessed prior bandings calm down quickly. They seem to know the routine.

Birds normally migrate long distances. Some can move from Algeria to Brazil. Some move thousands of kilometers in search of good breeding grounds.
