Birds travel daily far distances through unknown paths. Yet, when sun sets they are able to return to their nests. Is there any scientific explanation behind this? How are they able to memorize their paths and return, because we are never able to see a bird with lost path :cheer: ?

Maybe they have hired @Sandhya for helping them discover their nest. :lol:

Who said you that they can return back successfully? Even some birds are like GAJINI. hehehe

They too have memory Sandhya like humans. :)
@Both of you...
Really funny answers...
@Rajani..
Let me see whether I can catch one of them.
I think we should categorize this question under humour category :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
Not only birds many animals can return back from a long distance.

What a great discovery :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo:
Of course.
But I doubt whether man has this ability :unsure:
Of course man can also return but if gone due to quarrel then never returns.

You can catch Sandhya... :)
Because they are using any technology to forget their nests. :cheer: :cheer:

How migratory birds return to their home town? They have their own landmarks to find their place. The same way birds can return to their nests. It is applicable to animals too. (Not to mention about human beings as it is understood)

Adding some humour is making us to stay here, am I right Sandhya? :woohoo:

Call me, when it's done
The birds are able to find their way home because of the genetic mapping! This is the reason why the birds also are able to migrate every winter to the same place year after year across the distance of thousands of mils!!

Can you tell something about genetic mapping?
The birds know the route to their nests instinctively. They flock in systematic order and return before home before sun set.

Oh no I wouldn't be able to do that! I only know very basic stuff about genes, stuff that I learned in my third-year Zoo class! Rest all is very high-tech!

Only thing I can tell is that there specific genes to each and every thing that are responsible for our actions, the way we speak, sleep, sit, stand etc. even the way we fight and even influences what we like and dislike!

Oh no....Our likes and dislikes also... ;) ;) ;) My previous puzzle decoded.... :evil:

I once read the book, "Why men can't find things and women can't read maps?". It's sure, women can't memorize route maps easily and men can't find things placed in front of his eyes.
Similarly, birds may have special power to memorize the route they have traveled.
So, you were a zoology student. I assumed, you specialized in English literature :whistle:
Look at the picture that the birds are returning to their home.

They are in a hurry to meet their kids. They know, after some days, they will fly away from parents. Yet, they are performing their duties without expecting anything in return. Am I not right?
May be they have RADAR fitted in their head which catch signals emitted from the nest :laugh: .Do you know why ants move in straight line? :dry:
