A single flock already implies multiple birds going back and forth?

A single flock already implies multiple birds going back and forth?
- QuinnyPig 3y agoPigeons return home, they don’t seek out arbitrary locations.
- MichaelZuo 3y agoTrained homing pigeons do... hence why I mentioned them?
- LorenPechtel 3y agoNo. Homing pigeons return home--the coop were they were born. You take a bird somewhere, release it and it comes back to it's coop.
- MichaelZuo 3y agoHere's the first thing pops up on Google, "They had to be transported manually before another flight. However, by placing their food at one location and their home at another location, pigeons have been trained to fly back and forth up to twice a day reliably, covering round-trip flights up to 160 km (100 mi)." And judging from other sources that's pretty credible.
