What does Irruption really mean?

Irruption is a word that we use to explain when something suddenly and unexpectedly bursts or breaks into a place. It's like when you're sitting peacefully in your room and all of a sudden someone barges in without knocking. That would be an irruption - a sudden intrusion or invasion. Imagine you're peacefully enjoying a quiet picnic in a beautiful park, and suddenly a flock of birds swoops down and starts eating all your food. That unexpected invasion of birds would be an irruption too.

But "irruption" can also be used to describe how animals behave. You know how some animals migrate from one place to another in search of better food or warmer weather? Well, sometimes, when they can't find enough food or the weather gets really cold, bunches of animals, like birds or certain types of insects, they all come together in huge numbers and fly or move to another place at the same time. And when they do that, that's also called an irruption. It's like a huge movement or migration of animals, kind of like when a lot of people suddenly decide to go on vacation to the same place at once.

So, in a nutshell, "irruption" means a sudden and unexpected burst or invasion, whether it's by people or animals. It's like a surprise visit that catches you off guard, or a massive movement of animals all going to the same place at the same time. I hope that makes sense!
