The late W. T. Keeton conducted 35 experiments examining the effects of bar magnets upon the navigation of experienced homing pigeons on overcast days. Six statistics summarize the consistency and accuracy of the birds' initial orientation and the speed and success of their subsequent homing. Magnets had no significant overall effect upon these measures.
