There will be many more learnings related to usage of the five senses and the brain to go about...about birds and Humans... We will need to use those learnings in the future.. Our next generations will definitely put into use such new learnings for survival. Manoj Very interesting..

And for the record there is a useful discussion of navigation of homing pigeons and migratory birds such as indigo buntings in the book THE EPIC HISTORY OF BIOLOGY by Anthony Serafini. Serafini also points out that such birds are believed to use gravitation, the night sky, low-frequency sound as well. Also he poins out another blip, that pigeons released at certain points on the earth are unable to use their usual navigational systems and just drop helplessly to the ground. Interesting.
