Triggersmob that is an interesting one from Mongolia. I didn't realize they used falcons to hunt foxes. That's an awfully big bird. Does anyone recognize these birds?  |

Pigeons Beat the Danish Post
The Danish Post Office is very proud of its new modern sorting office in Copenhagen, all computerized. Despite all the miracles of modern technology there are still long delays of the mails. That is why the editorial office of the Copenhagen magazine "Fotokino" put into service carrier pigeons.
Mail from their offices in Frederikshavn (about 156 miles from Copenhagen), used to take up to one week, and that meant unpleasant delays and risks that the material would not arrive in time for printing. Now pigeons are carrying the correspondence on microfilm. One such shipment weighs just over 1 ounce, and it takes the pigeon only about three hours to cover the distance from Frederikshavn to Copenhagen. Upon arrival there are no postage dues to be paid, the only dues are a handful of grain.

I did a little searching through old posts, and I figured by now there had to be some newer bird issues to share, and why start a fresh thread when all of these were already here?
Tweet. Chirp. |
