鸽子和其他鸟类可以通过嗅觉信号从不熟悉的地区找到回家的路，这一结论是基于各种实验和对化学气氛的支持调查。在这里，我认为，替代概念提出的其他来源的地理位置信息被推翻的实验结果，或至少，没有实验支持，几乎不现实。
The conclusion that pigeons and other birds can find their way home from unfamiliar areas by means of olfactory signals is well based on a variety of experiments and supporting investigations of the chemical atmosphere. Here I argue that alternative concepts proposing other sources of geopositional information are disproved by experimental findings or, at least, are not experimentally supported and hardly realistic.
