Pigeon Magnetoreception Simulator
Scientists discovered iron-filled cells in your liver act as magnetic sensors.
You are a pigeon. Navigate home. You cannot see. You can only feel.
FLIGHT DIRECTIVE
Scientists discovered iron-filled cells in pigeon livers act as magnetic sensors. You are a pigeon. Navigate home blind using only your hepatic ferromagnetic sense.
Controls:
- Mouse/Touch: Click and drag / move pointer inside area to steer
- Keyboard: Use Arrow Keys or WASD to fly
Feedback: Watch the LIVER SIGNAL. It rises and glows green as you approach home.

Abstract: A single Columba livia specimen successfully navigated 0 arbitrary units using hepatic ferromagnetic organelles alone, confirming the hypothesis that pigeons do not need eyes, maps, or dignity. The specimen's flight path has been described as "chaotic but endearing."
