You don't know much about pigeons do you?

I do, as it happens.

If a pigeon has no
experience of a place it can't deliberately find it. Homing pigeons
have to be trained to return.

They don't have to have experience of the route.

Neither do I when I call a cab or ask directions - and I don't have be
trained to do it either.

Oh yes you do. Think about it.


I'd stick to bees if I were you.

I gave them up. I now keep birds.


That's very cruel

They do me no harm at all.
