PIGEONS

Well, I seemed to have acquired a new gift, quite by accident. I had some homing pigeons (actually they are carrier pigeons)left here a while back. As with all carrier pigeons, they went home after they were given their messages.

An unexpected thing happened. One of them laid eggs and with the help of a friend, the eggs hatched, the pigeons grew up. My friend, an expert on carrier pigeons, taught me all about them.

We did some test releases and they came back to the roost quite promptly.
Needless to say I was hooked. With my experts help, I have acquired a number of them.

I now give them to those who visit to take back to their place. Since these are actually carrier pigeons, they bring back messages.

In order to avoid messy situations, my expert friend made it so that the pigeons do not lay eggs when they are away from the roost.

I have recieved the most interesting messages when they return.

Well, time to feed the birds.
