Orientation of Homing Pigeons Exposed to the Electromagnetic Fields at Project SANGUINE's Wisconsin Test Facility.

Abstract

Homing pigeons were released at the intersection of two antennas to home to their loft in Bowling Green, Ohio 800 km away. Pigeons were also released at several places in the Test Site area to home to their loft located at the intersection of the two antennas. It appears that the birds may be deflected toward an energized antenna and may orient faster in the presence of ELF fields. (Modified author abstract)
