Olfactory sensitivity in the domestic pigeon was investigated using an instrumental conditioning procedure. The pigeons were trained to move from one section of a compartment to another by using light and odor paired together as the conditioned stimulus with electric shock acting as the unconditioned stimulus. After the pigeons had learned to cross from one section to the other at the presentation of the light and odor together, the light was removed and only the odor presented. The pigeons were unable to learn to use odor acting alone as a cue; thus these findings gave no indication of highly developed olfactory sensitivity in the domestic pigeon.
