15005 Unsung Heros Unsung Heroes of WW1 Nicole Kelley Junior Division Individual Exhibit Project- 465 words Process Paper- 426 words The topic I chose was communication through pigeons in World War One. I chose this topic because this topic seemed remarkably interesting. I knew it would make me want to learn even more about it. The topic I chose relates to the annual theme “Communication; The Key to Understanding” because carrier pigeons delivered messages between commanders and troops on the front lines the pigeons were especially useful tools of communication during WW1 when the telephone and the telegraph were still unreliable new technologies. How I conducted my research was by learning more about my topic. I did this by first finding good reliable resources that provided me with information on my topic. These resources consisted of books websites and newspaper articles. My research would also depend on what presentation category I would decide to use. The presentation category I chose was an exhibit board. I chose this presentation because I was more familiar with how it worked. I knew I would do better with the exhibit board because I had done a board before and it was more comfortable for me. The presentation category I chose affected my research because I knew that there was a limit on how many words I could use on my board. I had to make sure that I found enough words to explain my topic, and I had to make sure that the that I used did not exceed the word limit. I believe that homing pigeons where a crucial element for helping America and their allies to defeat Germany and win the war. These brave birds were incredibly determined to get their messages across the battlefield and to arrive at their destination. One example of this determination is a pigeon named Cher Ami. This pigeon got her message successfully across the battlefield despite being shot many times. She even ended up saving 194 men because of her immense amount of bravery and determination. Homing pigeons played a significant role in wars throughout history. World War One was just one war in which homing pigeons played a significant role in communication. Due to their ability to navigate directions, speed and altitude, they could successfully deliver messages to their respective troops. Even though a lot of pigeons were killed in the war, some of the information carried by the pigeons was so crucial that if their messages had not got through to the troops the U.S and their allies might have lost to Germany.

Left Top Panel Text Homing Pigeons Homing pigeons are domestic pigeons that have a natural homing ability. This means that they will usually return to their nest by using a sense called Magnetoreception. Magnetoreception is a sense that helps animals and other organisms to find a magnetic field and to recognize the direction, altitude or location. Because of this sense and homing pigeons speed people used them to communicate and send messages. Homing pigeons were usually referred to pigeon post or a war pigeon during wars.

Left Bottom Panel Text How They Communicated Before Homing Pigeons France and Britain were the first countries to use homing pigeons in WW1. France helped America to start using pigeons to communicate. Before anyone started to use pigeons though soldiers had to leave their relatively safe tanks to receive or send a message. “Many wounded. We cannot evacuate” -Charles W. Whittlesey Center Top Panel Photo Source credits-www.iwm.org.uk/history/the-incredible-carrier-pigeons-of-the-first-world-war Center Top Panel Text Thesis Statement In 1914 America’s homing pigeons played a significant role in World War One. The pigeons carried crucial information to and from the trenches to their respective military headquarters. This helped America and their allies to defeat Germany.

Center Bottom Panel Text Germany’s Use for Homing Pigeons The Germans also used homing pigeons in WW1. They used them to take pictures of the area from the sky. They also used the pigeons for carrying messages. The Germans also found ways to stop American messages from getting back or to the front lines. They would shoot down the pigeons and even use natural predators of the pigeon to stop them. This came to a point were American and British authorities hade to make it illegal to shoot pigeons and fly hawks. How Homing Pigeons Were Used In WW1 In WW1 communication was key. At that time technology like the telephone and the telegraph were still new and unreliable. It was also dangerous setting the telephone lines. So, WW1 leaders stated to use homing pigeons. This turned out to be a more reliable form of communication with 95% of 100,00 pigeons successfully delivering their message! “When telephone, wireless or any other means of communication breaks down, the winged wireless will be relied on to keep communication open between the fighting front headquarters” -An American Committee on Public Information Right Top Panel Photo Source Credits-www.iwm.org.uk/history/the-incredible-carrier-pigeons-of-the-first-world-war. Right Top Panel Text What Happened to Homing Pigeons After WW1 Even after WW1 pigeons were still used in wars! They are even still used today in competitive pigeon racing today! After WW1 32 pigeons and their trainers were awarded with the united Kingdom’s Dickin Medal for their heroic actions. Right Bottom Panel Photo Source Credits- www.si.edu/object/nmah www.warhistoryonline.com/instant-articles/cher-ami-the-smallest-hero-wwi.html. Right Bottom Panel Text Cher Ami Cher Ami was an important pigeon to WW1 history. This pigeon was one of the 600 homing pigeons owned by the U.S. signal corps in France. This pigeon was carrying an important message across the battlefield when she was shot in the chest and in her leg. But thankfully she still delivered her message and saved 194 men’s lives. For her heroic service, Cher Ami was awarded with the French Croix de Guerre with palm. Cher Ami was one of the many 100,000 pigeons used in WW1. “We are along the road parallel to 276.4. Our own artillery is dropping barrage directly on us. FOR HEVEN’S SAKE, STOP IT!”.

However, in birds, the hippocampus appears to be more specifically involved in spatial processes. The maturing of GPS-tracking technology has enabled a revolution in navigation research, including the expanded possibility of studying brain mechanisms that guide navigation in the field. By GPS-tracking homing pigeons released from distant, unfamiliar sites prior to and after hippocampal lesion, we observed, as has been reported previously, impaired navigational performance post-lesion over the familiar/memorized space near the home loft, where topographic features constitute an important source of navigational information. The GPS-tracking revealed that many of the lost pigeons, when lesioned, approached the home area, but nevertheless failed to locate their loft. Unexpectedly, when they were hippocampal-lesioned, the pigeons showed a notable change in their behaviour when navigating over the unfamiliar space distant from home; they actually flew straighter homeward-directed paths than they did pre-lesion.

    Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} Fly Cher Ami Fly! The Pigeon Who Saved the Lost Battalion by Robert Burleigh Cher Ami. Cher Ami (French 'male form' for "Dear Friend") was a registered Black Check Cock homing pigeon which had been donated by the pigeon fanciers of Britain for use by the U.S. Army Signal Corps in France during World War I and had been trained by American pigeoneers. He helped save the Lost Battalion of the 77th Division in the battle of the Argonne, October 1918. Contents. World War I service [ edit | edit source ] On October 3 1918, Charles Whittlesey and more than 500 men were trapped in a small depression on the side of the hill behind enemy lines without food or ammunition. They were also beginning to receive friendly fire from allied troops who did not know their location. Surrounded by the Germans, many were killed and wounded in the first day and by the second day, only a little more than 200 men were still alive. Whittlesey dispatched messages by pigeon. The pigeon carrying the first message ("Many wounded. We cannot evacuate.") was shot down. A second bird was sent with the message, "Men are suffering. Can support be sent?" That pigeon also was shot down. Only one homing pigeon was left: 'Cher Ami'. He was dispatched with a note in a canister on his left leg, As Cher Ami tried to fly back home, the Germans saw him rising out of the brush and opened fire and for several minutes, bullets zipped through the air all around him.

Lizanne Jeninga 14-2-2018 Wageningen University & Research Nederlandse Postduivenhouders Resource ecology group Organisatie Who is the fastest racing pigeon of all? A preliminary study on the influence of the physical condition of racing pigeons on their flight performance in a varying environment. Author Lizanne Jeninga (student number: 930520-399-120) In the context of my master thesis, part of the study Forest and Nature Conservation. Supervisors Fred de Boer & Kevin Matson Wageningen University & Research Resource Ecology Group Droevendaalsesteeg 3a, 6708 PB Wageningen Contact person NPO Leo van der Waart Wageningen, 14 February 2018 Preface and acknowledgements Various studies have addressed the navigational abilities of pigeons during their flight and how they form habitual routes. However, in contrast, few is known about the factors influencing the flight performance of a pigeon during a race; for instance, is the habitual route influenceable? This research report is the result of a study that is performed in context of a master thesis at the Wageningen University and Research in cooperation with the Dutch Racing Pigeon Fanciers Organisation (NPO) and deals with the effects of the physiological traits of pigeons on the flight performance and how this is related to the environmental circumstances they encounter along the route to home. The field study and this research report are established by the help of a lot of people. I want to thank everyone who has contributed.

  • Neural Processing of Magnetic Intensity Cues by Lesioned Homing Pigeons (Columba Livia) in a Magnetic Conditioning Paradigm
    NEURAL PROCESSING OF MAGNETIC INTENSITY CUES BY LESIONED HOMING PIGEONS (COLUMBA LIVIA) IN A MAGNETIC CONDITIONING PARADIGM Merissa L. Acerbi A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS May 2017 Committee: Verner P. Bingman, Advisor Anne K. Gordon William H. O'Brien ii ABSTRACT Dr. Verner P. Bingman, Advisor The ability to orient in an environment has been shown for centuries to be an important behavior in reproduction and survival. Many scientists agree the avian hippocampal formation (HF) is a brain structure involved in learning and memory tasks. Specifically, one type of learning and memory task, known as true navigation, defined as an animal’s ability to return home even when navigating in a novel environment. Previous research has shown one way birds are able to successfully complete true navigation is via the earth’s magnetic field. The question of what information is gathered with this geomagnetic sensitivity and where in the brain it is stored has remained unanswered. Currently, scientists theorize there are a number of avian species to use information about magnetic inclination via transduction by way of the Wulst area of the forebrain. However, few scientists have explored the role of magnetic intensity and what brain area(s) may be involved in order to successfully navigate. The current study illustrates the role of the HF as well as the Wulst during a novel magnetic conditioning paradigm where homing pigeons (Columba livia) experienced two different currents in magnetic intensity. Pigeons (N = 8) were trained, tested preoperatively and underwent one of two previously assigned experimental lesion surgeries (an electrolytic HF lesion, N = 4 or an aspirated Wulst lesion, N = 4).
