Landscape complexity influences route-memory formation in navigating pigeons.
- Abstract:
-
Observations of the flight paths of pigeons navigating from familiar locations have shown that these birds are able to learn and subsequently follow habitual routes home. It has been suggested that navigation along these routes is based on the recognition of memorized visual landmarks.
