Pigeon Post query.
Can someone explain, based on a pigeons natural
ability to return to its dovecote, how the service operated during the siege of Paris? How did they get the pigeons in, in the first instance?

Pigeon Post query.
Thank you Blair. looks like a ripping yarn, look forward to a good read. I havn't read your article as yet, but from another article, the messages were imprinted not on Albumen, but a new film called "collodion", and attached not to the pigeons leg, but the central tail feather, which was protected in flight.
