I will now be doing Sig. Corps ONLY!

I will no be doing signal corps only, and I will tame a pigeon to send messages to other people on the battlefield.

The only method for homing pigeons to work effectively is to raise them in a specific location. When you take one with you, attach a message and release it, the bird will fly home to the place where it was raised (home). You can't train them like other animals to go specific directions... unfortunately.

Trust me; I almost bought a pigeon cage too. :o

I'll make a pigeon cannon and just chase the krauts all day. That'll learn 'em.

Yeah, but in order to gain any sort of intelligent trajectory with the HCAD (Highly Contagious Avian Disease) round, we have to blanket the target with Seed, Bird M-906, dropped from a C-47 before hand. I have no idea what I'm doing... I've been up since 6 driving all day.

:twisted:

This thread is hilarious.

I forget where but I remember reading through a manual on signal pigions in WWII. Interesting stuff.
