Passage 1

Why don't birds get lost on their long flights from one place to another? Scientists have puzzled over this question for many years. Now they' re beginning to fill in the blanks.

Not long ago, experiments showed that birds rely on the sun to guide them during daylight hours. How do birds fly at night? Tests w ith 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 never flown under a natural sky. Yet it showed an inborn ability to use the stars for guidance. The bird's cage w as placed under an artificial star-- filled sky. The bird tried to fly in the same direction as that taken by his outdoor cousins. Any change in the position of the artificial stars caused a change in the direction of his fight.

But the stars are apparently their main means of navigation. When the stars are hidden by clouds, they apparently find their way by such landmarks as mountain ranges, coast lines, and river courses. But when it's too dark to see these, the doves circle helplessly, unable to find their way.
