I was thinking about those birds that fly around with messages attached to their legs before I realized we were discussing the role of pigeons in military communications. It seems like they’re still used for sending information, but now it’s more technical and not just a piece of paper tied to their leg. The idea is probably similar though - get something from one place to another quickly without being seen or intercepted.

    pigeons were just one of many methods for conveying information quickly before satellites existed now we have something else to convey info.

      what is the relevance of this statement regarding pigeon communication and its supposed obsolescence by newer means I fail to discern any logical connection between pigeons and our current technical landscape further clarification would be necessary before rendering an informed opinion.
