Unbelievable Fact about Super Fly Pigeons

Pigeon racing, also called Pigeon Flying, racing for sport the homing pigeon, a specialized variety developed through selective crossbreeding and training for maximum distance and speed in directed flight.

Super Fly Pigeons  can find their way back to the nest from 1300 miles away Pigeons can do this even if they've been transported in isolation—with no visual, olfactory, or magnetic clues—while experiment we rotate their cages so they don't know what direction they're traveling in. How they do this is a mystery, but people have been exploiting the pigeon's navigational skills since at least 3000 BCE, when ancient peoples would set caged pigeons free and follow them to nearby land. Their navigational skills also make pigeons great long-distance messengers. Sports fans in ancient Greece are said to have used trained pigeons to carry the results of the Ancient Olympics. Further east, Genghis Khan stayed in touch with his allies and enemies alike through a Pigeon-based postal network.
