The pigeon as a war hero
In modern times the feral pigeon has been used to great effect
during wartime. In both the first and second World Wars the pigeon
saved hundreds of thousands of human lives by carrying messages across
enemy lines. Pigeons were carried on ships in convoys and in the event
of a U-boat attack a messenger pigeon was released with details of the
location of the sinking ship. In many cases this lead to the survivors
being rescued and lives saved. Mobile pigeon lofts were set up behind
the trenches in the First World War from which pigeons often had to fly
through enemy fire and poison gas to get their messages home. The
birds played a vital role in intelligence gathering and were used
extensively behind enemy lines where the survival rate was only 10%.
In the Second World War pigeons were used less due to advances in
telecommunications, but the birds relayed invaluable information back
to the allies about the German V1 and V2 Rocket sites on the other side
of the Channel.
The pigeon as a messenger
The earliest large scale communication network using pigeons as
messengers was established in Syria and Persia about 5th Century BC.
Much later in the 12th Century AD the city of Baghdad and all the main
towns and cities in Syria and Egypt were linked by messages carried by pigeons.
This was the sole source of communication. In Roman times the pigeon
was used to carry results of sporting events such as the Olympic Games
and this is why white doves are released at the start of the Olympic
Games today. In England, prior to the days of telegraphs, pigeons were
often taken to soccer matches and released to carry home the result of
the game. Their use as a messenger in war time
resulted in many pigeons being awarded honors by both the British and
French Governments. Incredibly, the last âÃÂÃÂpigeon postâÃÂàservice was
abandoned in India in 2004 with the birds being retired to live out the
rest of their days in peace.
and
Famous people and pigeons
The humble pigeon has attracted some very famous fans over the last few thousand years
ranging from Royalty to rock and roll singers and actors through to
fashion designers. One of the most famous royals is Queen Elizabeth
of England who has lofts and pigeon keepers at her estate in
Sandringham, Norfolk. Elvis Presley had a soft spot for pigeons and
Mike Tyson is also an enthusiastic pigeon keeper. Even Maurizzo Gucci
the internationally renowned fashion designer is a keen pigeon
fancier spending a reputed $10,000 on one American pigeon. 'One
famous couple, Paul Newman and Joanne Woodward, are keen pigeon
fanciers but after being swamped by autograph hunters at a pigeon show
they are apparently less comfortable to show their affection for the
birds publicly.' Last but not least, and probably the most famous
of all... Noah!
