Benvenuti, V. Fiaschi, A. Gagliardo, P. Luschi] Summary: The homing ability of a group of pigeons raised under conditions of continuous exposure to windborne information was compared to that of another group subjected to exposure to winds only during the time spent in pre-test training flights. The results of release experiments at sites that were unfamiliar to the pigeons show that both bird groups, which had been made temporarily anosmic, had impaired initial homeward orientation and homing ability. These results, which do not entirely concur with the recent findings of Wiltschko and his coworkers, show that the raising and training procedures we used do not influence the nature of the cues used in pigeon homing. If the exposure of birds to wind-borne information is reduced, this does not bring into play any effective non-olfactory mechanisms of navigation; it simply hinders the development of the olfactory map and impairs the homing ability.
