Scientists have puzzled over this question for a long time. Now they re starting to fill in the blanks. Not
26、long ago, experiments showed that birds use the sun to guide them during daylight hours. How do birds fly at night? Tests with artificial stars have proved that certain night-flying birds are able to follow the stars in their long-distance flights. A dove had spent its lifetime in a cage and had nev
27、er flown under a natural sky. But it had an inborn ability to use the stars for guidance. The birds cage was placed under an artificial star-filled sky.

28、e in the direction of his flight. But the stars are apparently their main means of navigation.
