• "Fractious" means "quarrelsome; unruly; causing trouble".
• In the first sentence, using "fractious" to describe a trait related to animal navigation is incorrect. It should be a trait like "innate" instead.
• In the second sentence, "fractious relationships" makes sense as it describes the quarrelsome nature among band members.
• In the third sentence, "fractious environment" is appropriate as it depicts a tense and divided situation.
