homing pigeon

An intelligent breed of pigeon with natural homing abilities. Although its navigational method is still somewhat of a mystery, it is thought to use the planet's magnetic field. They can be trained to return to home from hundreds of miles away. They were used in World War I and World War II to carry messages, some of which saved thousands of lives. Some famous war birds include, "GI Joe" and "Cher Ami." Today, homing pigeons are flown in a popular racing sport in which they compete from up to one thousand miles away.
Homing pigeons are released in Ohio and arrive home in Massachusetts the same day.
