Abstract
In a series of experiments the orientation behaviour of single pigeons was compared with that of small flocks (three and ten individuals). On the whole the flocks did not orientate better than birds released singly. However, there were indications of slight differences between single birds and flocks, suggesting that the dominance of single leaders may be influenced by other individuals even in small flocks. The results are compared with those reported by other authors on the impact of social influences on bird orientation.
