Which navigational failure results when starling flocks encounter magnetic anomalies?

💡 Explanation

Disrupted magnetic fields overwhelm the magnetic compass mechanism used in starling navigation; because the birds can't then calibrate their celestial compass, their flight paths deviate from intended routes. Therefore inaccurate celestial compass execution occurs, rather than impacting social cohesion directly.
