We report the results of the first experiments investigating the effect of anosmia on homing pigeons reared in a previously uninvestigated region, southern England. In series 1, experienced birds showed little effect of anosmia induced with zinc sulphate at unfamiliar sites 30 km and 39 km from the loft, but treated birds were significantly poorer than controls at homing from an unfamiliar site 66 km distant (and in pooled results). In series 2, na\u00efve (untrained) birds, both control and zinc-sulphate-treated, showed poor homing abilities and initial orientation from sites 25 km, 36 km and 39 km from the loft. Nevertheless, in pooled results, controls showed significantly better homeward orientation than anosmic birds and were significantly more likely to home on the day of release. The most likely explanation for our results is that pigeons are able to use olfactory navigation in southern England, but that for some reason the olfactory map is relatively weak.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1242\/jeb.201.6.895","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,4,25]],"date-time":"2021-04-25T04:30:28Z","timestamp":1619325028000},"page":"895-900","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":30,"title":["Homing Pigeons Use Olfactory Cues for Navigation In England"],"prefix":"10.1242","volume":"201","author":[{"given":"Tim","family":"Guilford","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"1 Department of Zoology, South Parks Road, Oxford OX1 3PS, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Anna","family":"Gagliardo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"2 Centro di Studio per la Faunistica ed Ecologia Tropicali del CNR, Via Romana 17, I-50125 Firenze, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jackie","family":"Chappell","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"1 Department of Zoology, South Parks Road, Oxford OX1 3PS, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Francesco","family":"Bonadonna","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"3 Dipartimento di Scienze del Comportamento Animale e dell\u2019Uomo, Via Volta 6, I-56126 Pisa, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Theresa Burt De","family":"Perera","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"1 Department of Zoology, South Parks Road, Oxford OX1 3PS, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Richard","family":"Holland","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"1 Department of Zoology, South Parks Road, Oxford OX1 3PS, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"237","published-online":{"date-parts":[[1998,3,15]]},"reference":[{"key":"2024032020270791800_JEXBIO_201_6_895C1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"121","DOI":"10.1242\/jeb.199.1.121","article-title":"The debate over olfactory navigation by homing pigeons","volume":"199","author":"Able","year":"1996","journal-title":"J. exp.
