Re: What's next, message by owl?

P.S. It turns out I was wrong about "no longer used for pigeon post":

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/War_pigeon

Between 2009 and 2015, many pigeons have been reported to carry cell phones, SIM cards, phone batteries and USB cords into prisons on the Brazilian state of São Paulo.

In 2010, Indian police expressed suspicion that a recently captured pigeon from Pakistan might have been carrying a message from Pakistan.

In 2016, a Jordanian border official said at a news conference that Islamic State militants were using homing pigeons to deliver messages to operatives outside of its "so-called caliphate".
