Bird Navigation

Birds navigate using multiple systems: sensing Earth's magnetic field, reading star patterns, following coastlines, and possibly detecting infrasound from ocean waves. Some species can find their way home across thousands of miles they've never traveled before.

Pigeons can find their way home from 1,000 miles away even when released in unfamiliar territory!
