Birds migrate over long distances by relying on a combination of innate instincts and environmental cues. They use their keen sense of navigation, including the Earth's magnetic field, the position of the sun and stars, landmarks, and even sound to guide them along their migration routes. Additionally, some birds are thought to have an internal map that helps them navigate to their destination. By combining these various mechanisms, birds are able to successfully navigate their way over long distances during migration.
