The ability of birds to find their way home is equally amazing. Birds have been taken by airplane fro their home to places 400 miles away. When they were set free, they flew back to their home!
To say they have an instinct to " go home" doesn't really explains the mystery. How do they find their way? We know that young birds are not taught the road by their parents, because often parents fly off first on the annual migrations, And birds who fly home often fly by night, so they can't see landmarks to guide them. Other birds fly over water, where there are no landmarks of any kind.
One theory is that birds can sense the magnetic fields that surround the earth. Magnetic lines of force Magnetic lines of force stretch from the north to the south magnetic poles. Perhaps the birds direct themselves by these lines. But this theory has never been proven.

Which organism is harmed in commensalism?
No, neither of the two organisms is harmed in commensalism. Commensalism is a type of relationship between two organisms where one benefits, and the other is unaffected. An example is one wherein birds move into a field behind or among cattle that are grazing. The cattle stir up insects, which the birds eat. The birds benefit from the actions of the cattle, and this helps the birds. The cattle are just conducting "business as usual" and are unaffected by the action of the birds.
