Le compas stellaire n'est pas inné : des jeunes oiseaux élevés sans la possibilité de voir le ciel nocturne sont incapables de s'orienter avec les étoiles au moment du départ en migration; ils apprennent à interpréter le ciel nocturne en observant la rotation céleste. Ils orienteront ensuite leur première migration (postnuptiale) en volant dans la direction opposée à ce centre de rotation, qui indique le Nord. 2, record 3, French, - centre%20de%20rotation
