Much of the research my colleagues and l conduct uses homing pigeons, a species of bird that has been trained to find their way home from a long distance away. The pigeons in our study have been fitted with miniature tracking devices in individual backpacks that allow us to track and analyse their movements with incredible precision. Homing pigeons make good subjects because they are superb navigators and have been used for a variety of purposes over many hundreds of years of human history. Champion pigeons can be worth a fortune, Decades of research into their spatial cognition have revealed that their excellent navigation skills rely on a suite of senses: they use the sun and the earth's magnetic field as a compass, and they can build a mental map of their environment using major visual landmarks on their route as well as their ability to differentiate one smell from another.
