Also part of a bird's abilities is the ability to detect polarized light. It seems to work with the ability of birds to detect magnetic fields.

See for an interesting read: https://www.pnas.org/content/113/6/1654

Many or maybe most humans can also see the polarity of light. Take your smart phone and make the screen display a white image. While it shows this image for a long time, rotate the phone. You should see a yellow whispy checkerboard pattern turning with the phone. This "brush" is actually a visible measurement of the polarity of the light coming from the phone.

I don't know if there's any mechanism for which humans can detect magnetic polarity, but there's research on this too:
