Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Homing pigeons' ability to return to their home from unfamiliar locations demonstrates true navigation. This means that they are able to use a combination of compass orientation, environmental cues, and mental maps to navigate back to their home. This is different from piloting, which involves using familiar landmarks, and innate behavior, which is instinctual and does not involve learning or decision-making.
