Birds navigate during migration using a variety of cues such as the sun, stars, Earth's magnetic field, landmarks, and even their sense of smell. These cues help them to determine direction and distance to their destination. Additionally, birds may also rely on their ability to recognize specific landmarks or geographical features to navigate effectively during their long journeys.

Birds navigate during migration using a combination of various methods such as the position of the sun, landmarks, magnetic fields, and possibly even their sense of smell. They are believed to have an internal compass that helps them find their way to their destination. This ability is known as "magnetic orientation," where birds can detect Earth's magnetic field and use it to navigate.
