My dad was heavily into racing Pigeons and spent 10's of thousands on the flying rats. When he broke his back, I mainly looked after them. He got Pigeon Lung and that was the end of that.
Personally I think they are vermin.

My next doors have common, Trafalgar Square types pigeons. They only have about 10-12 of them. I don't know what the couple do with them TBH. They do let them out to fly about, and I occasionally find an odd pigeon **** on my car. Nothing exciting, really. May be, my next doors just like homing them- I don't know.

Ok. What would you do with them, w44syf? Will you race them, take them to the shows, or just keep them as pets? I tend to imagine a pigeon carrying a message tied to it's foot; over the hills and far, far away.................like it used to happen in old stories LOL.

Cool.
Sounds amazing, doesn't it? No stamp required, no gyzmotic emails, texts etc. **** involved. Those must have been the times when people got the messeges in the bottles or via pigeon flight. Pigeons are believed to have a strong built-in compass, don't they? Before any SN walking encyclopedia corrects me on here with the fact that all birds may as well do- I know, I know! But the pigeon's built-in compass is supposed to be a very good one. Almost as powerful as the iPhone's compass. 
Well,that's what I have heard, anyway.
wish i could train them to take messages
