Saw a special on hummingbirds. While interesting they just buzz around eating. Can you imagine a special on pigeons? The homing instinct, the war service the diversity. The theives! Is there amy bird more accomplished?
Thief Pouters! Honestly the pigeon world is half crazy! But so much fun learning all this!
BP....I'd lock my coop too. Easy way to prevent theft.
Let's see some pics folks! You slackers! LOL. I could also use an Olive update!
Your right BP. They were fired upon regularly. Everyone knew if you saw a pigeon it was carrying a message. There is a story of von Richthofen following one on his way back up base trying to shoot it from his plane. Greatest WW1 pilot dueling with a pigeon. Oh the stories never told....
BP...poor bird. He is like a war pigeon! Let nothing deter him from his mission! Gosh I just love the pigeon war stories. They carried out an amazing mission! They need more credit. Some got recognized. Most not. Flying through a war zone I find incredible.
Dang Bio....you got me...
