Why don’t birds get lost on their long flights from one place to another?

The bird’s cage  【小题5  (place) under an artificial star-filled sky. The bird tried to fly in the same direction 【小题6(take) by his outdoor cousins.

But when it’s too dark to see these, the doves circle helplessly, unable to get their position.
