Young homing pigeons released at a site on the edge of a magnetic anomaly and then in the center of the anomaly show better orientation at the anomalous site than birds released there for the first time. To test the possibility that this improvement is the result of birds learning to obtain navigati
How pigeons return home from unfamiliar release sites is a long-standing puzzle in animal behaviour. Walker (1998, 1999) has described a "vector summation model" which "identifies a novel coordinate that pigeons could use with magnetic total intensity to determine position". The model is not applica
