Migratory birds can detect the direction of the Earth’s magnetic field using the magnetic compass sense. However, the sensory basis of the magnetic compass still remains a puzzle. A large body of indirect evidence suggests that magnetic compass in birds is localized in the retina. To confirm this po...
