Development of the navigational system in homing pigeons: increase in complexity of the navigational map by Schiffner, Ingo, Wiltschko, Roswitha

“…In the present study we analysed GPS-recorded tracks from pigeons of different ages from 11 sites between 3.6 and 22.1 km from the home loft, which revealed…”

Point of decision: when do pigeons decide to head home? by Schiffner, Ingo, Wiltschko, Roswitha

“…Pigeons released away from their loft usually fly around at the release site for a while before they finally leave. Visual observations had suggested that the…”

Direct Evidence for Vision-based Control of Flight Speed in Budgerigars by Schiffner, Ingo, Srinivasan, Mandyam V.

“…We have investigated whether, and, if so, how birds use vision to regulate the speed of their flight. Budgerigars, Melopsittacus undulatus, were filmed in 3-D…”
