  |  | Ah, this ties in well with the recent Oxford University research that shows pigeons are no longer using their inbuilt navigation systems, but are actually following the main roads, even to the extent of going around roundabouts.
see: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/3460977.stm
It's causing hell amongst the homing Pigeon breeders, 'cos their pigeons are no longer doing as the crow does, but are being diverted by the M1 traffic cones. It is putting miles on their journeys and they keep losing races. The M6 toll road around Birmingham is proving expensive, especially at beak hours. And the GPS system that Oxford Uni has tied to their legs doesn't seem to help much either. GPS? Complete waste of the air miles system.
