"Our livers and our physiology are sort of like an evolutionary hangover from that time," said Nathaniel Dominy from Dartmouth College.

Why do pigeons have a good sense of direction?
A study published in the journal 'Science' found that pigeons navigate using the Earth's magnetic field, which they sense by detecting tiny electrical currents in their inner ears. When a pigeon bobs its head, its inner-ear loops provide information to the brain about the magnetic field. This helps them navigate long distances back to the location they identify as home.
