Birds abilities to navigate is outright insane, for example albatross can travel ten thousands of miles, I believe it is only bird that circumvents earth, I am not convinced that magnetoreceptor is the only answer to how birds able to navigate, if not mistaken in WWII researchers glued magnets to pigeons head, it did not affect there's abilities to navigate.
