What was amazing to me is how that bird could pick out one person out of
tens of thousands in an area of maybe 10 squ. miles so quickly

Yeah, tho presumably it realises that its owner is normally in the closest
big open area to the tower it flys off of so it isn't really 10 square miles
for the person, it only has to find the closest open area and work out
where its owner is when its close to the ground there.

And it was quite late in the video before the bird suddenly stopped
circling and dived straight for the target.

Condor.
Actually i can recall at one zoo i was at they had given their one condor a
lift to get up to a high perch so it could glide down all day. Nobody
actually saw this hapen, and most of the time it was on the ground looking a
bit bored.

Birds of prey are not smart.
Trained ones will come to anyone offering a lure.
They don't recognise their owners.

Pigeons know their owners, so you're saying eagles (for example) are less
intelligent than pigeons??

Depends on what you mean by smart.

There was no lure with that one.

They don't recognise their owners.

It clearly did work out where it was supposed to land.

Some of them could deliver letters to the correct address.

No they couldn't.
They can find their way back home, ie where their nest/loft was.

Again, they don't even recognise their owners.

Pigeons do.

Just like you'd pilot a glider, and for the same reason.

That is just plain wrong with pigeons.
