Birds migrate thousands of kilometers using a combination of environmental cues and internal navigation systems. The Earth’s magnetic field helps them orient, while the position of the Sun and stars provides direction. Some species, like homing pigeons, rely on smell and landmarks to recognize familiar routes. Changes in air pressure and wind currents also influence flight patterns. Scientists study bird migration using GPS tracking and banding techniques to understand their incredible accura...
