PIGEON’S HOMING INSTINCT
A blue-pied hen pigeon belonging to Constable Eames, of Newport, Isle of Wight, took part in a race from Oxford on April 22, 1933. It had been missing ever since until a few weeks ago, when it arrived home, ousted another bird from its old nesting box, and settled down contentedly. Its identification rings had been cut off and the bird had evidently been kept in captivity, but even after 11 months it had seized the first opportunity to return home.
