Birds use special tools like the sun, stars, and Earth's magnetic field to find their way. Imagine a bird that knows where it’s going even when it can't see the ground, it’s like having a built-in compass! Some birds also remember landmarks they've seen before, just like you might use street signs to get home.
Examples
- A bird flying from North America to South America is like a kid who knows the way home even when they are lost in a big city.
- Some birds follow the sun, just like you might use a watch to tell the time and know where you are on a trip.
- A young bird learns how to fly south with its parents, it’s like learning a route by watching someone else drive.
