Birds use special tools inside them to know where they are. Like a compass, they can feel the Earth's magnetic field. They also watch the sun and stars to help them travel long distances. Some birds even follow roads or rivers like highways! It’s almost like they have a built-in GPS that helps them get home every year.
Examples
- A robin follows the sun like a little clock in the sky to know which way to fly.
- A goose sees the river and knows that’s where it needs to go.
