Not just passengers: pigeons, Columba livia, can learn homing routes while flying with a more experienced conspecific.
For animals that travel in groups, the directional choices of conspecifics are potentially a rich source of information for spatial learning. In this study, we investigate how the opportunity to follow a locally experienced demonstrator affects route learning by pigeons over repeated homing flights....
