Prabhupada, September 3, 1976, Vrindavana: […] Not only flies. The birds, when they flock together, so there is no collision. And they very forcibly go like this, this, this, this, all together, but you won’t find one accident. And this is Krishna’s inconceivable energy. What you can do? You cannot fly hundreds of planes at a time. There will be at least three, four accidents. Full Conversation

CEH | September 25, 2012 — […] The ability to store and use quantum information is a challenge to modern engineers, reported Technology Review from MIT, but birds fly by it. “Now Vladko Vedral at the University of Oxford and a few pals have calculated just how good nature could be at this game. The answer is very good: it looks as if nature has worked out how to preserve entanglement at body temperature over time scales that physicists can only dream about.”
How does a bird navigate with quantum computing? In the back of a bird’s eye, molecular sensors can detect both photons and the earth’s magnetic field. When a photon is absorbed, an entangled electron pair is formed, each electron briefly occupying different parts of the molecule. The magnetic field flips the “spin” (a quantum property) of one of the electrons, so that when they recombine 100 microseconds later, that information can be sensed by the bird. “The result is that the bird ‘sees’ the earth’s magnetic field as it flies,” the review said.
Maintaining the entangled state for 100 microseconds is “an extraordinary figure,” the article states. The best human engineers have achieved is 80 microseconds. Furthermore, the bird does it at body temperature. Full Article
