Bird Brain - The Mystery of Bird Navigation
Twice a year millions of birds begin journeys that will take them up to 10,000 miles across the world's hemispheres. How do they know where to go? How do they find their way? Scientists have recently proved that migrating birds and their cousins the homing pigeons have quite extraordinary powers of navigation and make use of an incredible set of guidance mechanisms. Perhaps even using a sense organ that we still know very little about. But what we do know is that the insult ' bird-brain' should no longer be applied to birds. Narrator PAUL VAUGHAN
