I suspect the magnetic field around a power line is thousands of times more powerful than earth's magnetic field.
It would likely overload the birds senses and not be a pleasant experience.
- jakubp 9y agoTheir perception could be non linear, much like our perception of light intensity. Or it might be adjusted automatically to a higher value, dimming the earth's field but making power lines "bright" but not blinding. What a cool possibility overall!
- goalieca 9y agoThere’s a difference with power lines because it runs an AC current. The earths magnetic field is static for all intents and purposes.
