What are the advantages and disadvantages of using ancient homing pigeons and homing pigeons?

The training and use of pigeons is relatively simple, because humans use its homing. As long as the white dove is caught from the nest, it can return to the nest no matter how far it is. Of course, it is usually fed to make it do basic reactions, such as whistling.

In ancient times, homing pigeons had the advantages of high speed, short information transmission time, and were not limited by weather, terrain distance, or relatively few restrictions, especially suitable for military information transmission. Even in modern times, it can play a role, because if modern communication leaves electricity, it will almost be paralyzed, and homing pigeons can come in handy at this time.

The disadvantage of homing pigeon is that it is an animal after all, and there are many uncertainties. For example, being shot by someone, being captured by other animals and other accidents will lead to the failure of information transmission. If it is military, it will also leak information, thus causing great losses.

Extended data:

strong function

Communication: Carrier pigeon communication has the advantages of accurate information transmission, strong maneuverability, simple equipment use, no terrain restriction and no electromagnetic interference, so it is still an auxiliary communication means in the era of electronic communication, which can make up for the shortcomings of electronic communication.

Transportation: Carrier pigeons can transport small things and other small things.

Military reconnaissance: American rescue experts use homing pigeons to help rescuers find missing persons at sea.

Product inspection: First, put the homing pigeon in the cage next to the conveyor belt, let it identify unqualified small electronic products, small medicine boxes, small medicine bags and other small products, and train it to pick out unqualified products. After training, it can act as an "inspector".
