Abstract: In ancient times，pigeons became communication tools due to their navigation ability and good homing performance. Although researchers have extensively explored the navigation mechanism of pigeons over the years，its navigation mechanism is still unclear. This article elaborates on the current research on pigeon flight navigation mechanism from the perspective of natural factors such as solar compass，geomagnetic field，visual clues，olfactory clues，etc. It clarifies that pigeons use solar information as the primary clue to guide navigation behavior，and use geomagnetic information，sensory information，etc. to assist navigation. It also introduces the research progress of using pigeon flight navigation mechanism to develop biological robots，manned flight，and navigation technology，and looks forward to the future development of related technologies. This article summarizes the theoretical research， development，and application of pigeon flight navigation mechanism，providing materials for the future application of related technologies.
