How fast can a homing pigeon fly?

homing pigeons are very interesting birds. they are different from pigeons you would frequent at parks because they are able to find their way home when released from distances hundreds of miles from home. ccientists think homing pigeons have magnetite within their brain that "draws" or "pulls" them home. if you were to place a homing pigeon next to a wild pigeon you would not notice many differences. they look remarkably alike.a homing pigeon may look more muscular than a wild pigeon and normally has an identification band on its leg.

Sometimes, postal authorities to test the speed of mail service conduct mail transport experiments: sending mail through pigeon, by cycle, by van, by air, by sea (of course not through internet). One will be surprised that pigeon was the first to reach the destination with delivery of the written message.
