(See my notes “This is how the brain thinks.” 27 III 2014, “This is how the brain thinks… The answer to the enchantment?” 1 VIII 2016)

After 9-11 years, a concrete and more or less detailed explanation of this mysterious phenomenon has come.

Moving in different directions in the local, local geomagnetic field, birds excite weak currents of electromagnetic induction in their body and brain. These currents, felt or not felt, but affecting their Superconsciousness, give birds information about the state of the field in a given place, its vertical and horizontal components.

It is also possible that they receive information about the local geoelectric field in the same way.

BUT THAT’S NOT WHAT birds are “interested” in! The main thing is that the local condition of the fields SIGNALS to their nervous system WHETHER to PACK up and fly to their “normal” habitat and nest, or wait? Of course, they don’t THINK the way it’s explained here, but depending on the signals they receive, their instinctive presets “tell” them whether it’s time to fly home or not.

This also means that changes in the state of the geomagnetic field at a certain local point are physically related to its state at another point thousands of kilometers away! Which, in principle, is not surprising: A change in the geomagnetic field at a point close to one of the poles may well affect its “CONTINUATION” thousands of kilometers away.

The situation is more complicated with the geoelectric field, where the field is usually directed normally to the surface of the Globe. But even there, with a high degree of probability, its changes at one point are somehow related to the corresponding change in another, quite far away from the first.

So for geophysicists, birds with their fantastic dances in one particular place on Earth can be a clear and easily observable indicator of the state of geofields in completely different parts of the globe.

And this phenomenon is stunningly beautiful!

ALWAYS FANTASTICALLY CHARMING!
