00:00How do billions of birds travel thousands of kilometers without maps or GPS?
00:07What invisible force guides them across oceans without stopping?
00:13How do they navigate?
00:15Could it be the sun?
00:17Yes, they use a sun compass.
00:21What about at night?

00:30Through magnetoreception, birds literally see magnetic fields.
00:36But what are these invisible highways?
00:40They are called flyways, ancient corridors shaped by coastlines and wind patterns.
00:48How do their bodies survive such journeys?
00:53Through hyperpagia, they doubled their weight, in fact, before departure.
01:00Yet, why are these routes now in danger?
01:04Light pollution, habitat loss and climate change threaten these voyages.
01:10So, what can we do?
01:12Turn off lights, protect wetlands and make windows birds safe.
