Study Investigates How Pigeons Use Magnetic Fields for Navigation
A recent study published in Science explores how homing pigeons navigate using Earth's magnetic fields. The research suggests that iron-rich immune cells in the pigeons' livers may help detect magnetic fields, contributing to their navigation abilities. The study outlines three hypotheses on how birds sense geomagnetic fields, but none fully explain the phenomenon.
