Research on pigeon homing suggests that magnetic field information is used for orientation. The ability of pigeons to sense magnetic fields may be associated with a small, unilateral structure between the brain and the skull which contains magnetic in what appears to be single domains.
对信鸽归巢的研究表明，磁场信息被用于定向。鸽子感知磁场的能力可能与大脑和头骨之间一个小的单侧结构有关，该结构包含似乎是单畴的磁性物质。
