I Read the passage carefully and choose the correct answer.

Homing pigeons are placed in a training program from about the time they are twenty-eight days

of age They are taught to enter the loft through a trap and to exercise above and around the loft, and gradually they are taken away for short distances in wicker baskets and released They are then expected

to find their way home in the shortest possible time

In their training flights or in actual races, the birds are taken to prearranged distant points and released to find their way back to their own lofts Once the birds are liberated, their owners, who are

standing by at the home lofts, anxiously watch the sky for the return of their entries Since time is of the

essence, the speed with which the birds can be induced to enter the loft trap may make the difference between gaining a win or a second place

The head of a homing pigeon is comparatively small, but its brain is one quarter larger than that of the ordinary pigeon The homing pigeon is very intelligent and will persevere to the point of stubbornness some have been known to fly a hundred miles off course to avoid a storm

Some homing pigeon experts claim that this bird is gifted with a form of built-in radar that helps it

find its own loft after hours of flight, for hidden under the head feathers are two very sensitive ears, while the sharp, prominent eyes can see great distances in daytime

Why do homing pigeons fly home? They are not unique in this inherent skill: it is found in most migratory birds, in bees, ants, toads, and even turtles, which have been known to travel hundreds of miles
