According to the article ‘Electrical devices disrupt
bird navigation’ published this May on bbc, electrical devices may disrupt the
migrations of some birds. A group of scientist state that weak electromagnetic
fields produced by equipment plugged into mains electricity interfere with the
animals.
In addition, this study has been published in the
journal Nature which has a deep impact in knowledge. It’s known that some birds
perform remarkable feats of navigation, migrating half way around the world. It
is thought that birds are helped by the magnetic field. The study says that low
frequency waves could interfere that migration of some birds. Lots of
experiments have been done from more than 40 years to demonstrate it. Scientist
do not yet understand how a bird’s magnetic works. This group of researches
still have to study more about birds and their behaviour.
To sum up, this kind of works are useful and very
interesting to improve and understand birds and other animals, In my opinion, I
absolutely agree with these types of investigations. Science is a strong tool
to know more about us and our environment.
