It's unknown how migratory species that sense the magnetic field will be affected. Maybe they easily adjust, maybe there is a massive die-off due to large percentages getting lost.

My utopian fantasy is that all birds would end up at the equator at the same time, have longer than usual holiday, and when the pole flips, they'd fly to the opposite hemisphere that they came from. They'd love the new scenery and I wouldn't need to cross the globe to see a whole new set of birds.
