Birds navigate during migration using a combination of different methods. They rely on their keen sense of sight, landmarks, the position of the sun and stars, and Earth's magnetic field to find their way to their destination. Some species also have the ability to sense the Earth's magnetic field and use it as a compass to guide them on their journey.

Birds use a variety of cues to navigate during migration, including the position of the sun, the Earth's magnetic field, and landmarks such as rivers, coastlines, and mountain ranges. Some birds also rely on their ability to sense the Earth's magnetic field through specialized cells in their eyes. By combining these different cues, birds are able to navigate long distances and find their way to their desired destination.
