Birds navigate during migration using a combination of instinct, celestial cues, landmarks, and the Earth's magnetic field. They can sense the Earth's magnetic field through special cells containing magnetite in their beaks, allowing them to orient themselves in the right direction. Additionally, birds use the position of the sun, stars, and landmarks to help them along their migration routes.
