Which risk arises when migratory birds encounter rapid deflections in Earth's magnetic field?

💡 Explanation

Navigation relies on a magnetic compass; a deflected field disrupts the internal compass, therefore producing navigation errors, rather than affecting rhythms or brood parasitism. Magnetoreception, using cryptochrome proteins is the mechanism affected.
