DESCRIPTION:
Animals with Jobs - Carrier Pigeons An excellent and interesting read on Carrier Pigeons, their history of service to man kind in both war and peace, and also about how Carrier Pigeons are trained to do their work. I think people interested in history or people who love animals would both enjoy this book.. Informs Without Talking Down I bought this book as a gift for my 10-year old grandson and felt the need to perform a quality check before passing it on. In a word, it was excellent. It tells the story of carrier pigeons in a way that is engaging to young readers without talking down to them. I feel comfortable passing this book on because I believe it will be read and appreciated.

Using their mysterious homing ability, pigeons fly to their loft from great distances. Carrier pigeons made their greatest contribution during wartime when they flew over battlefields to deliver messages rolled into leg capsules. The birds also deliver blood samples and transport film cartridges. (20020601)
