Many birds can do something that seems almost supernatural:
they can sense Earthβs magnetic field as if they have an internal compass.
This ability, called magnetoreception, helps them navigate thousands of kilometers during migration with remarkable accuracy.
Scientists believe this sense comes from special proteins in their eyes that react to Earthβs magnetic field.
In other words, some birds can literally see magnetic patterns while flying.
