Civilizations have been using carrier pigeons to send messages for thousands of years. A lot of research has been done to figure out why these homing pigeons possess the ability to consistently navigate their way home. We now know that different kinds of pigeons respond to different environmental cues. Some pigeons navigate by sensing changes in earth’s magnetic field. Some pigeons travel through olfactory navigation (sensing differences and changes in atmospheric odors). And some pigeons even use man-made constructions such as roads and buildings to navigate.
I really want a carrier pigeon. Someone needs to figure out how to get me one. Then I can stop using this website and just have my carrier pigeons send these posts to everyone personally. All 8 of you.
