NO CANDIDATE STRUCTURE. “Elaborate iron-mineral-based structures thought to be magnetoreceptors have also been reported in the upper beak of birds. However, recent findings suggest that these structures are macrophages involved in iron homeostasis. Thus, at present, no convincingly documented, iron-mineral-based, magnetoreceptive candidate structures are known from birds.”
