How do birds find their way with no com-
pass? Scientists have been conducting
experiments trying to solve this mystery
for over 50 years. In 1960, robins were put
in special cages in which the direction of
the magnetic north had been changed.
Without hesitation, the birds moved to-
wards the new magnetic field, as though
they had a compass and knew which way
was north. From this, it was concluded
that unlike people who need a compass,
birds can easily find their way when
migrating.
