Have you ever wondered how tiny songbirds manage to fly such great distances?

Peter Hore, a professor of chemistry at the University of Oxford, whose study focuses on the navigational abilities of night migratory songbirds, sheds some light on the matter. 🐦

Peter reveals that small songbirds are able to successfully navigate to their long-distance destination thanks to a mix of several factors. Some of these factors, Peter shares, include the sun and the stars as well as some scents and landmarks that the birds can recognize. 🌟

The most important directional guide these birds possess, however, is their ability to DETECT the Earth’s magnetic field! 🌎
