It is fascinating - but I do have reservations about our use of birds and animals in war.
ReplyDeleteYou know, I was just reading about carrier pigeons last night. But I did not know about Paddy. It is such a shame that these pigeons went extinct due to stupid men! I guess back then there were no laws or programs to protect animals with low populations, like there are now.
ReplyDeleteThis is an interesting bit of WW II history. That is a remarkably short time for a pigeon to fly so far.
ReplyDeleteHello, interesting info on the pigeon message carriers. Happy Tuesday, enjoy your day!
