Pigeons navigate using magnetic sensors in livers — study

A research team in Germany has published new data on how pigeons use magnetic fields as a navigation method when visibility is limited. A key part of the long-sought answer could lie in an unexpected ...

Pigeons could have a ‘gut feeling’ in their liver to help them navigate, study suggests

They might be using iron rich immune cells in their livers to detect Earth’s magnetic field, playing a role in their sense of direction ...
