The book explores pigeon biology, focusing on sensory systems and genetics, before examining the science of magnetoreception and various related theories. From their domestication to their use as messengers in wartime, and their contribution to early scientific experiments, the book emphasizes the pigeon's surprising impact on human affairs. The journey concludes by examining the pigeon's place in today's urban ecosystems.
Drawing from diverse sources, including scientific studies and historical records, the book presents an interdisciplinary view of pigeons. This approach is designed to be accessible to a broad audience interested in science, biology, and history, providing a deeper appreciation for these birds' complexity and contributions. It is important to remember that the book also acknowledges controversies, such as the impact of pigeons on agriculture.
