The article explores the fascinating world of bird migration, highlighting the return of species like chiffchaffs and wheatears in March. Director Miriam Liedvogel notes that most birds migrate alone and at night, challenging traditional perceptions of migration. Although various myths about migration have existed through the ages, modern research has clarified these behaviors, revealing that 95% of migratory birds navigate using the Earth’s magnetic field. This process is thought to involve quantum mechanics, a concept that has intrigued scientists since the 1970s, particularly through Klaus Schulten’s pioneering work.
As Miriam Liedvogel notes, migrating birds travel largely at night, often alone, demonstrating a complex inherited behavior driven by navigation that remains an area of active study.
Birds utilize the Earth's magnetic field for navigation, a phenomenon likely explicable through quantum mechanics, a theory that has been explored since Klaus Schulten's work in 1978.
