This is the secret of the orientation of a traveling pigeon

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.

Why is family important?

While we are young, the family is the cornerstone of our basic needs: it is our first information to get to know the world. The family teaches us to think about ourselves and others. Also, our emotional foundations depend on how parents treat us, and what messages we receive from their behavior. Children are convinced that everything parents say is true and true. When the parent makes a judgment about the child's core value, that thought becomes a fact in the child's consciousness. If parents tell their children that they are good, valuable, and loving, then they will form positive and confident thoughts. They will treat others well, because they will find that they deserve it. However, if parents' behavior is negative towards their children considering them worthless, then those children will harmonize their lives with such negative thoughts. The negative beliefs that children create about themselves continue to persist into adulthood. For example, these negative self-t...

Acid rain is a type of rain or any other form of precipitation that has an unusual level of acidity

Which means it has a high level of hydrogen ions (low pH). It can cause harmful effects on plants, aquatic animals and infrastructure. Acid rain is caused by the emission of sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxide, which interact with water molecules in the atmosphere and create acids. Since the 1970s, governments have made efforts to lower the level of sulfur dioxide released into the atmosphere, achieving positive results. Nitrogen oxides can be produced naturally by lightning strikes while sulfur dioxide from volcanic eruptions. Chemicals in acid rain can cause paint to be removed, corrosion of steel structures on bridges and erosion of stone statues.  Formation of acid rain Creating acid rain Due to the release of acidic gases into the atmosphere and their solubility in raindrops, it then collapses into such acidic soil. In normal rain conditions there is a small amount of acidity. This rate depends on the amount of CO2 dissolved in it, as well as small amounts of chlorine. By standar...

Is the tattoo haram?

Answer: Praise be to Allah alone, praise and peace be upon Muhammad ... The tattoo is a permanent mark or drawing on the skin that is injected through the needles under the superficial layer of skin. Most often, "tattoo artists" use a hand machine that acts like a sewing machine, with one or more needles piercing the skin continuously. With each puncture, the needles release color. The health damages he can cause are many, such as allergic reactions, various skin infections and blood diseases, including hepatitis B, hepatitis C, tetanus and HIV, the AIDS-causing virus (AIDS). However, even if it were not the cause of those diseases, the tattoo is haram because it changes and interferes with the creation of Allah, who gave man the most beautiful form. Although tattooing is a growing fad, it is a primitive act that people have done in ancient times, while Islam forbade it from this ugly and not flattering act (in my opinion), hence the Prophet, sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sall...
