How Do Pigeons Home?

One of the most interesting of Sheldrake’s proposals from the book Seven Experiments is mobile pigeon lofts. He goes into some detail in the book but he also brings up the topic during the Glorious Accident round table discussion.

Around the table are: Stephen Jay Gould, Oliver Sacks, Daniel Dennett, Freeman Dyson, Stephen Toulmin, and of course Rupert Sheldrake.
