"Though a strange result, it's not entirely out of the realms of possibility. Some animals, generally smaller than cows and deer, have been shown to have magnetoreception, or the ability to perceive the Earth's magnetic fields. In fact, it's surprisingly common, and particularly useful in migratory birds, likely aiding navigation."

Solar storms can mess up the migration of birds. A new study shows that birds have trouble sensing Earth’s magnetic field when the sun is active. This could affect their survival and reproduction in a changing climate. #solarstorms #birdmigration #magnetoreception https://www.livescience.com/animals/birds/upcoming-solar-maximum-could-scramble-migrating-birds-internal-compass-new-study-shows?utm_source=flipboard&utm_content=HariTulsidas%2Fmagazine%2FArchetypes

A new study suggests that humans can sense the Earth’s magnetic field, a phenomenon known as magnetoreception. This ability, common in many animals, could help humans navigate and orient themselves in space. Magnetoreception could be a hidden sense that we have not fully explored, and it could have applications in medicine, technology, and education.
