I was impressed when I first learned that birds use the positions of the stars to navigate for long distance night travel such as migration to the South.

A place called Pathwayz.org said
How do birds use magnetic fields to navigate?

Researchers found some specialized cells in birds’ eyes that may help them see magnetic fields. It is thought that birds can use both the beak magnetite and the eye sensors to travel long distances over areas that do not have many landmarks, such as the ocean. Jan 4, 2021

Wonder what other things we cannot sense that animals can, or early versions of humans could sense. The hippies were onto something about “The vibes went bad so I split.”

Amazing how birds navigate! They can fly 10,000 miles almost non-stop and end up exactly same place they were the year before.

It is claimed that dogs can sense the earth's magnetic field. Some Dogs will align themselves north-south when they have a bowel movement. I tested this theory on my dogs, and it seems to be true. They don't care which way they pee, but they are usually aligned on a north-south axis (within about 15 degrees either way) when they poop. They don't seem to care if the head is north or south, but the body will be aligned north-south (more or less).

Neat trick, those birds ‘seeing’ the earth’s magnetic field. But is it accurate enough to find the Primary target, the ICBM complex at Laputa. Target reference Yankee Golf Tango Three Six Zero.

— Major Kong wants to know where to take the turn for the final run in to the target.

In my bible study, we call the presence of the holy spirit — the sixth sense. An invisible means of support as well.
