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.
