The ability of pigeons to sense geomagnetic fields has been conclusively established despite a notable lack of determination of the underlying biophysical mechanisms. Quasi-spherical iron organelles previously termed “cuticulosomes” in the cochlea of pigeons have potential relevance to magnetoreception due to their location and iron composition; ho...
