Travel back in time to the enchanting landscapes of Italy and Europe, where the windows of ancient fortresses play host to a captivating sight: homing pigeons perched in wait. These winged messengers of history carried the hopes and dreams of soldiers and civilians alike during times of war and peace. From the 19th century Carrier Pigeon, with its lithographed sky of wings, to the French army pigeons released aboard the transatlantic liner La Bretagne in 1898, these birds played a pivotal role in communication. WWI saw the heroic efforts of homing pigeons like the one from 1918, carrying messages for the US Army. Today, we celebrate these remarkable creatures, with their English Carrier and English Fantail brethren, as symbols of resilience and connection. Let the spirit of these ancient travelers inspire your own journeys.
