So how do pigeons keep their balance? In fact, pigeons have many muscles, and each muscle can control the balance of the body. Although the pigeon's feet are particularly small in shape, it makes people feel that he is weak and can't keep his balance. In fact, pigeons have their own ways to keep their balance.

One is that the leg muscles of pigeons are particularly developed. Every step they take, they can contract their muscles well, thus achieving a balanced effect. At the same time, the pigeon's neck is constantly swinging from side to side, which is also a way for the pigeon to keep its balance.

There are many pigeons whose bodies contract together when they land on one foot, and they constantly change their legs. At the same time, they will stand up straight. So when the pigeon walks, although it looks wobbly, it can actually maintain a good balance and accelerate the pace of walking, which is very flexible.

Second, the method of pigeon keeping balance is compared with that of human.

Similarly, in order to keep balance, pigeons must turn their heads and walk. People are different, because people have a center of gravity, a heavier head and a corner in the center of the human body. When walking, the movement of the legs changes the center of gravity, which will make the body out of balance and easy to fall. Therefore, people should swing their hands when walking to offset the change of center of gravity. Relatively speaking, the pigeon's head is small and light, and the movement of its legs makes its head lean backwards, so its head will move to offset this imbalance, so the pigeon will twist when walking. Of course, other birds also have this way of keeping balance. You may notice that birds like ducks, whose heads can't move when walking, are not as light and elegant as pigeons.
