Pigeons have a good sense of direction.Humans have utilized the pigeon's instincts of "going home" and "sense of direction" to develop it as a "messenger". As early as 1176, Sultan Nur ad-Din established an "airmail" route between Baghdad and Syria using pigeons.

At the age of six weeks, the homing pigeon establishes a place as its "home" and will try to fly in the direction of its home wherever it is released. After a long period of artificial selection, the ability of the domestic pigeon to "go home" is much better than that of the wild pigeon. Pigeon flying races can be more than 1000 kilometers long.

How do pigeons find their way home without getting lost along the way? Since ancient times, humans have been curious about the pigeons' ability to recognize directions, and countless studies have been conducted in this area. But so far, we have not fully understood the mystery.

It was discovered a long time ago that if a magnet was put on a pigeon, the pigeon's sense of direction would be disturbed by the magnetic field of this magnet. So pigeons should be able to navigate using the Earth's magnetic field.
