children and a few others
learned a little about homing
pigeons. It seems that people
believe these birds are guided
by the position of the sun and
may lose their way in cloudy,
foggy or rainy weather, as this
one apparently did.
According to the World
Book, mature, experienced
birds have flown as much as
600 miles in a day and they
often perform in 500 mile
races. History states that
homing pigeons have been
carrying messages for alout
3.000 years, beginning with
their training by ancient
Kgyptians and Persians.
In Greece, pigeons carried
news of early Olympic games
victories to the different
cities. Romans used them to
send military messages. Dur
ing the Franco Prussian War.
the French used homing
pigeons, and the Germans
trained hawks to catch them.
Pigeons served the United
States Signal Corps in World
Wars I and II and in the
Korean War. One bird carried
a message about 24 miles in 25
minutes arriving with one leg
shot off and its breast injured
by a bullet. In 1956 the U.S.
Army sold the last of its birds
as they were replaced by
electronic devices.
