How do birds fly thousands of kilometres without getting lost? 🐦🧭

Birds make some of the most incredible journeys in the animal kingdom. They can cross oceans, deserts and entire continents, somehow arriving exactly where they need to be.

In this Squiz Kids Science Short, Christie investigates one of nature's greatest mysteries: how birds know which way to fly. Is it the Sun? The stars? Familiar landmarks? Or do they have a secret superpower that lets them detect Earth's invisible magnetic field?

It's a fascinating story of magnets, migration and one of the biggest unsolved mysteries in animal science.
