About Homing Pigeon
The messenger pigeon is a variety of domestic pigeon derived from the wild rock dove, selectively bred for its ability to find its way home over extremely long distances. The rock dove has an innate homing ability, meaning that it will generally return to its nest, using magnetoreception.
