Similar System for Immigrant Bird to GPS

06.11.2007

In a research conducted in the USA, it was determined that immigrant birds have a similar system to GPS (Global Location Identification System) in their brains. Birds can find ways with this system even if they are removed from the usual routes to 4 thousand kilometers.

In the article published in the annual journal of the American National Academy of Sciences, researchers began from Alaska where they had written the article and went to spend the winter in the southwest of the US and the long migration journeys extending to the north of Mexico came up to 30 yellowing birds and taken 3 thousand 700 kilometers away from the usual routes with a plane in cages.

The riders knew they had to fly to the southwest, with migration paths after a small radio receiver among their wings, these birds were recorded before the land 122 kilometers, then in the article specified by small aircraft, until 15 of the birds were released 3 days after the migration routes, the other 15 of 15 were observed directly from the south.

Makalede stated that the birds of the researchers conclude that they were programmed to fly in thiste.
