Why not fly in foggy weather?

In foggy days, except for specially trained all-weather homing pigeons, ordinary homing pigeons should not be trained and released, otherwise they will be easily lost or unable to return to their nests in time. One of the reasons is that pigeons come back to China at close range with their own marks. Once the sign of their home is out of sight, they can't find where their home is and can't go home. This is the conclusion of many people's experiments. The second reason is that the difference between geomagnetic sense, body vibration sense, infrasound, smell, air pressure and temperature is too small, so that the pigeon's unique function-navigation system "fails" and cannot play its role. So it's hard to find your home in a short time, just running around. Others dare not fly high or far, just hovering around nearby buildings. The more timid simply lie on the upstairs, and when the fog clears or the weather improves, they suddenly realize that it is not far from home and run home. Therefore, in foggy days, it is not suitable to fly without special training, especially young pigeons, so as not to fly in foggy days, so as not to cause unreasonable losses.
