Honeybees, rainbow trout, and homing pigeons all utilize Earth's magnetic field for navigation and orientation. Honeybees have magnetite-based receptors that help them detect magnetic fields, aiding in foraging and hive location. Rainbow trout can sense magnetic fields through specialized cells, which assists them in migrating and finding their spawning grounds. Homing pigeons possess magnetoreceptors in their beaks, allowing them to navigate accurately over long distances using the Earth's magnetic cues.

How do released doves know how to return?
They don't necessarily. While its true that there are homing pigeons (and doves are very close relatives of the pigeon) and that birds in general are able to navigate long distances consistently, it requires a delicate balance of a number of factors for birds to truly return to a location. And, to make things a little stranger, there are no 100% solid reasons as to how birds are able to do this. While there are many theories (like that birds are able to detect magnetic fields, can navigate by the sun/moon, or recognize landmarks) there have been no entirely conclusive tests thus far that really explain it.
How small can tracking or homing devices be?
