Why birds are able to return to their nests?

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:

It's because of pheromones...... :cheer: their way of communication.....something like liquid

Yes this is the reason they move in straight line. :)

heard from elders that birds remember the direction until the sun does not sets and so all the birds in the evening are in hurry to return to their home else they will forget their way.you will hrdly or i should say you will not see birds roaming at night.

May be birds also have transmitters fitted to know their nests and to decide where they have to go. :laugh:

It seems to be a nice answer. :blink:
Actually why can't we think, they won't see at night. That's why they are returning in evenings?

OWL and BAT.... exceptions

OWL and BAT forget things in day so they come back to their homes before sun rise or they are suffering from day blindness. :woohoo:

Yes, their eyes can't withstand sun light. That's why they are seen as symbols of ghost :S

even owls and bats love to live in darkness you can easily find them in dark places like haveli or khandhar.

even it is said that birds relocate their homes and directions by the position and direction of sun.thats why they start their work when the sun rises and stop when it sets.

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 [/quote]

No I am a Zoology major, but I loved English equally!!

But i have never seen posting or answering zoology threads :silly: :blink:
Was it a bad dream of yours :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: ?

Probably they were question and answer types of threads which I dislike. Had they been discussion threads in which I can really discuss something, then I would have. For one thing I have never notice any such threads! :blink:

Why can't you add a new one, where we can add such simple information under one thread...just to increase and refresh our knowledge?

Bats cannot see in the day time so they will take rest in the morning and go for food in the night time.

How their mind works about directions? Any idea??? :woohoo:

I think they go by the noise as they have strong hearing power. :laugh:

the birds have a special ability to sense earths magnetic field which they use it as there reference to find their nest

The scientific reason is that they always fly in groups and if a bird is flying alone then they always put some landmarks in their mind by which they can return to home.

This is a topic that biologists may better reply. The physical structure or anatomy of birds must be such as would enable them to understand directions.

Bats can not see in the dark, they have a very sophisticated inbuilt sonar system, they emit extremely high-pitched squeaks which bounce around and come back to them. If there is anything in the way, the echo picks it up and the bats can fly around without colliding into that object, maybe like a tree or a building etc. Similarly they find their preys to hunt.

Contrary to popular belief bats can see during the day time but they sleep during that time because they are nocturnal. The reason they evolved as nocturnal animals is because the animals, small rodents, insects etc are also all nocturnal, meaning active only at night.
