Traveling pigeons have long served as long-distance secret messenger senders. Traveling pigeons were later replaced by other messaging tools, such as telex, telegram, and in the new era of telephone and internet. Pigeons have been sending messages, mostly messages written over very long distances, from one state to another.
But how is it possible for a bird to know the correct orientation and find the address?
The dove can fly without resting about 1000 km. It is not programmed like today's GPS through classic orientation. In whatever country you leave a pigeon it will still be reoriented to find the home, or just its owner.
The main orientation of a pigeon is the sun, while its orientation becomes more difficult when there is no sun.
Another important orientation is the magnetic fields. If you put a dove in a small iron and wooden lodge, the orientation will be easier when in the wooden house. It is assumed, according to some studies of American scientists, that the brain of a pigeon contains micromagnetic nerve fibers. Analyzes of these compounds have found that these micro magnetic fibers are made of iron, zinc, lead and copper.
Those who are passionate about pigeon racing should know that pigeons are often hampered by bad weather to find the desired orientation. Solar radiation is also an important factor in disorienting pigeons.
