Good Question. Thanks for asking it.
A bird sitting on a wire, flies, circles around and comes back to its perch .That means the bird covers circular path and reaches its perch.
Distance travelled : The total path traversed by an object .
Here circumference of circle =2πR
Displacement is the shortest path travelled between source and destination with a direction.
As it reaches its original position, displacement is zero.
