THE COO JOURNAL

Stories with
feathers.

Science without the lecture. History without the dust. City life seen from the ledge.

Sun, scent, landmarks and perhaps magnetic fields: the map inside a pigeon is gloriously complicated.

Both mothers and fathers make it. Few birds do. For a newborn squab, it is everything.
