Imagine you’re flying on a big journey, but you don’t have a map or a compass. Some birds use the sun, stars, and even Earth’s magnetic field to know where they are going, like having a superpower for navigation!
The Magic of Navigation
Birds can see things we can't, like how the sun moves in the sky, and they learn from the stars at night. Some birds also use magnetism inside their bodies, kind of like a built-in compass.
Examples
- Some birds have an invisible compass inside them that helps them fly straight even when they can’t see the sun or stars.
