HOMING PIGEON

Homing pigeons are one of nature's most remarkable navigators, capable of finding their way home from over 1,000 km away using the Earth's magnetic field, the sun, and even smell. Long before phones or internet, they were the world's most reliable messengers. Their visual system is genuinely extraordinary. Homing pigeons mate for life, sharing parenting duties equally — both partners taking turns incubating eggs and raising their chicks together.
