Did you hear?

I don't know if you have heard of the stork in Egypt that was arrested, and put behind bars, as superstitions lead it to be accused of "spying". Actually, the bird had a satelite tracker on its back.

I'm surprised it wasn't arrested for stalking, ihnewman.

No I haven't, thanks for giving me some food for thought Brandonyes

Birds have always been seen as the messengers of the Gods. In Greek and Roman Antiquities, but even earlier ,the Maya saw the bird as a messenger. Well worth reading about History.

Pigeons were always used in wars, to carry messages with informations to fighting soldiers.

(that's also where the saying:don't shoot the messenger comes fromsurprise)
