I’ve never really considered this from their perspective but what’s clear is that they’re not exactly ideal messengers. Their homing ability can either work for or against you depending on the situation and to be frank it seems like more of a liability than an asset when it comes to secure communication. before now i wasn’t aware there was even any discussion about utilizing them in such capacities but considering their limitations, it’s hard to see how they’d be much use in that regard.
seems true given those limited skills and isn’t clear these birds would lend themselves well for reliable messaging situations.
