Flagging for a title change, perhaps:
"Birds can see Earth's magnetic fields due to protein in their eyes"
or the original, more clickbait-y title:

- dang 9y agoSeems to me the first part of the title makes a reasonable whole title, so let's go with that for now. Also, we changed the URL from http://archive.is/SlcSL http://archive.is/SlcSL. archive.is is an excellent site for archiving, but not for HN submitting, because it's important for readers to see the actual domain. For the same reason, we don't allow link shorteners.
