7．For professional athletes，it's all about training，speed，strength，and endurance．It's no different for the homing pigeon （传信鸽）-the flying athletes，but they're not going for the gold with every race．They just want to go home．
When you walk into Mike Beavers'pigeon loft （鸽棚） you'll hear the happy coo （咕咕叫） from his flock of homing pigeons．Beavers raises and races these birds near Kingsley，Iowa，USA．
"Most people don't believe me，"says Beavers．"They ask，‘How do you do that？'Then once you start explaining it，it really kind of catches their interest and they say，‘Wow，that's pretty awesome．'"
His love for the birds took off when he was a kid and he's spent the past 30years building his team of racing pigeons．It's a family hobby．"I got out of it for a few years and after I got married，my daughter came along and it was something that she and I could do together because I don't shop，"says Beavers．
Beavers has about 150birds，but these aren't ordinary pigeons．They're born to race，conditioned to travel long distances，and they have the instinct （本能） to always return home no matter where they are．
"They come back because this is home，"says Beavers．"This is where they were born and raised and it's just their instinct to go home．Nobody even really knows the reason．It's one of nature's secrets and nobody has found it yet．"
These pigeons are kind of like a flying GPS．That's what makes them so special．If you take a wild pigeon you find under a bridge and take it out 100miles away，it is just going to find the closest bridge and that's going to be its new home．It is the instinct that is bred into these birds over centuries and centuries．
