  1. Thinking laterally for a minute....... lets compare a pigeons wattle to that of the nose of a dog! A dogs nose is like a sponge but instead of sucking in water it sucks in smells. Boffins now tell us that pigeons as well as using the earths magnetic fields & sun, smell also help them navigate............... so could the wattle of a pigeon be used as part of their homing instinct? and could the decrease in size of the wattle be a part of the reason why the modern day pigeons homing instinct is poorer of that of pigeons from yesteryear thus resulting in the losses were now encountering these days.
