Birds use special tools like the sun, stars, and Earth’s magnetic field to help them find their way during long trips. Imagine you’re flying in a big airplane without a map, that’s kind of how it feels for birds! Some even remember the path from last year. It’s like having a built-in GPS inside your body.
Examples
- A little bird uses the sun like a clock to know when it's time to fly south.
- A baby swan learns its route by watching its parents fly every year.
- A pigeon flies across an ocean using Earth’s magnetic field like a compass.
