Birds use special tools like a built-in compass and a map inside their heads. Like when you follow a road to get somewhere, birds use the sun, stars, and Earth’s magnetic field to find their way, it's like having GPS in your brain! Some even learn from older birds how to travel. When they're ready, they fly all the way across oceans or continents, just like going on a super long adventure.
Examples
- A baby bird follows its mom from the forest to a warm beach thousands of miles away.
- Like using a compass and a map, birds use the sun and stars to travel far distances.
- Some birds even ride the wind like surfers on waves during their journey.
