How does Birnam Wood move in Macbeth?
The wood does not move. Macbeth's enemies cut down small trees and bushes from Birnam Wood, hide behind the trees and bushes and move slowly forward. Towards Dunsinane.
How did Birnam Wood actually advance against Macbeth?
In the play "Macbeth" by William Shakespeare, the prophecy that Macbeth receives from the witches states that he will not be defeated until Birnam Wood moves to Dunsinane Hill. This prophecy is fulfilled when Malcolm's army disguises themselves with branches from Birnam Wood, giving the illusion that the forest is moving towards Macbeth's castle at Dunsinane.
Why is it appropriate that Malcolm give the order to cut down trees for use as camouflage?
Malcolm's plans to camouflage themselves (soliders) with tree branches from Birnam Wood, so Macbeth would not notice them coming until it was too late. This plan fulfilled one of the prophecies of the witches, that Macbeth will have nothing to fear until Birnam Wood begins to move.

How does Malcolm get around one of the prophecies from scene 1 act 5 in Macbeth?
Malcolm gets around the prophecy by instructing his soldiers to cut down tree branches from Birnam Wood and use them as camouflage to conceal their numbers and movements as they approach Macbeth's castle. This action fulfills the witches' prophecy that "Macbeth shall never vanquished be until Great Birnam Wood to high Dunsinane Hill shall come against him."
In Macbeth Malcolm orders the English army to carry something to camouflage themselves?
Malcolm orders the English army to cut down branches from Birnam Wood and use them to disguise their numbers as they approach Macbeth's castle at Dunsinane. This fulfills the witches' prophecy to Macbeth that he would not be defeated until Birnam Wood comes to Dunsinane.
How does Malcolm's army make the witches prophecy come true?
The witches (or rather their spirits, not the witches themselves) said that Macbeth never would vanquished be until Birnam Wood came to high Dunsinane Hill. Normally, you wouldn't imagine that a forest could uproot itself and move, but Malcolm's army cut down parts of the trees to use as camouflage, which they carried to Dunsinane. So in a sense the forest did move, in a kind of legal loophole way.

How did the witches' prediction about Great Birnam Wood coming to Dunsinane come true?
One of the witches' predictions had been the security of the life and reign of Macbeth as long as Birnam Wood didn't move to Dunsinane. But a combined force of Englishmen and Scotsmen were able to achieve that seemed impossibility. Their leaders were Malcolm, later King Malcolm III, the son of King Duncan I and his Uncle Siward, Earl of Northumberland. Malcolm suggested that each man cut and carry a bough for the march on Dunsinane Castle to hide the mass of their army. To those at the royal Castle, it looked as though the entire forest had become uprooted from Birnam Wood and was moving on Dunsinane.The army issued by Malcolm cuts down branches from Birnham Wood and uses them for cover as they approach Dunsinane Hill.
In the play Macbeth why did the enemy cut down great mirram wood?
In the play Macbeth, the prophecy states that Macbeth will not be defeated until Birnam Wood moves to Dunsinane Hill. To disguise their numbers and intentions, Malcolm's army uses branches from Birnam Wood as camouflage while advancing to Dunsinane. This tactic fulfills the prophecy and ultimately leads to Macbeth's downfall.
