Skinner during Project Pigeon. Although the project was ultimately cancelled because of the impracticality of the weapons, the idea of pigeon-guided missiles showed promise.<\/p>\n<p>The missile had an array of lenses at the front that projected an image of the target to an interior screen. The pigeons were conditioned to peck at the target on the screen. The pigeon&#8217;s pecks corrected the missile&#8217;s flight-path.<\/p>\n<p><iframe hcb-fetch-image-from=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/mnKyOfNuSoo\" title=\"WWII Missile Guided Pigeon Project Racing Homers Used\" width=\"1080\" height=\"608\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/mnKyOfNuSoo?feature=oembed\"  allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><iframe hcb-fetch-image-from=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/ckYDrGw0lGY\" title=\"How Do Pigeons Find Their Way Back Home?\" width=\"1080\" height=\"608\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ckYDrGw0lGY?feature=oembed\"  allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h3>2.
