Imagine you're on a journey from your home to a friend's house, but you don't have a map or phone. You just know the way somehow, like magic! Birds use special tools inside their bodies, such as the sun, stars, and even Earth’s magnetic field, to find their way during long trips. These tools act like an invisible map that guides them home every year.
Examples
- A pigeon flies across the ocean using the sun like a clock to know when to turn.
- A group of swallows follows the stars at night as if they are reading the sky’s map.
- A sparrow changes direction mid-flight when it feels the wind push it off course.
