Homing pigeons use magnetism through tiny iron crystals in their beaks. Turtles use magnetism by sensing slight differences in magnetism throughout the ocean. It keeps them in the cycle of warm waters in a specific 8,000 mile path that they swim for years.
Try www.loc8tor.com It is a homing device for lost articles such as keys, glasses etc. Not sure if it works off a satellite. Who cares, as long as it works.
They don't necessarily. While its true that there are homing pigeons (and doves are very close relatives of the pigeon) and that birds in general are able to navigate long distances consistently, it requires a delicate balance of a number of factors for birds to truly return to a location. And, to make things a little stranger, there are no 100% solid reasons as to how birds are able to do this. While there are many theories (like that birds are able to detect magnetic fields, can navigate by the sun/moon, or recognize landmarks) there have been no entirely conclusive tests thus far that really explain it.
The most dangerious natureal disaster that appears common on earth is often answered as the hurricane, but they are wrong. The most dangerous disaster would be meteorites, since the chance (if homing in on land) of getting hit is 200,000:1. However, theres nothing to worry about as most of these raindrops from hell typically land into the ocean.
More applications of infrared light are: fiber optic communication, noncontact remote temperature measurement, homing missiles (e.g. AIM-9 Sidewinder air to air missile, AIM-132 Advanced Short Range Air-to-Air Missile), IrDA computer peripheral interface, TV remote controls, weather satellites, astronomy, art preservation and analysis, etc.

Pigeon post is the use of homing pigeons to carry messages. Pigeons were effective as messengers due to their natural homing abilities. The pigeons were transported to a destination in cages, where they would be attached with messages. No one knows exactly when they were first used for messaging but they were used for that purpose since ancient times.
