Pigeons have magnets.

C Walcott, J L Gould, J L Kirschvink.   

Abstract

Research on pigeon homing suggests that magnetic field information is used for orientation. The ability of pigeons to sense magnetic fields may be associated with a small, unilateral structure between the brain and the skull which contains magnetic in what appears to be single domains.
