The Carrier Pigeons

Every person has heard of the carrier pigeon, but few have ever had an opportunity to study the nature and care of these interesting birds, because they are far from common in the United States. The film treats the subject thoroughly, through the different stages of growth of a pair of squabs, their early training, the interesting method of wedging a rolled message to one of the pigeon's tall feathers, the remarkable system employed to determine the winner of a carrier pigeon match and one scene showing the start of some ten thousand pigeons in a race.
