by sensing the earth’s magnetic fields and mobile radiations

Birds navigate by sensing the earth’s magnetic fields and mobile radiations are known to disturb them and interfere with their movement.

by the Earth's magnetic field

We know that birds navigate by the Earth's magnetic field - if the magnetic field changes, birds may fall.

using earth's magnetic field

We know that birds can navigate using earth's magnetic field, but no one really knows how.

Earth's magnetic field

Many birds use Earth's magnetic field to navigate.

using celestial cues from the sun and stars

We now know that birds navigate using celestial cues from the sun and stars, the earth’s magnetic field, and inbuilt genetic “mental maps”.

using the stars

Since birds navigate using stars, artificial nighttime light attracts and disorients them.

by the stars or are guided by the earth’s magnetic field

Birds navigate by the stars or are guided by the earth’s magnetic field.

use landmarks

Like humans that use GPS, birds use landmarks to navigate long journeys.

using the stars and moon as a compass

Many birds navigate using the stars and moon as a compass, but light pollution can interrupt this navigation.

flying

After all, flying is the common way birds maneuver their surroundings.

by the stars or by changes in the earth's magnetic field

The birds may navigate by the stars or by changes in the earth's magnetic field.

acquire directional information from landscape features and wind direction

Migrating birds acquire directional information from landscape features and wind direction.

and features on land

The birds navigate using stars and features on land.

use a magnetic force

Neil: Birds use a magnetic force to help them navigate over thousands of miles – a magnetic force tells them where north is.

by the light from the moon and stars

Birds typically navigate by the light of the moon and stars, but if they find themselves in an artificially lit environment, they may get confused and often have difficulty leaving difficulty , causing them to have collisions.

by orienting themselves with the sun and by following physical landmarks

Birds navigate in part by orienting themselves with the sun and by following physical landmarks.

superior sensory abilities

The ability to orient themselves during migrations is attributed to birds' superior sensory abilities, rather than to intelligence.

their way to warmer weather

- birds navigate their way to warmer weather.

using cues from the sun in the day

Birds will navigate using cues from the sun in the day and stars at night.

a mystery

Although the intricacies of how birds navigate remain a mystery, this much seems to hold true: all migratory birds use a variety of cues, and different species seem to rely on some cues more than others.
