Charles Darwin really wrote in a letter “I will show you my pigeons, which is the greatest treat, in my opinion, which can be offered to human beings.”

Also in the 70s and 80s pigeons were “placed in observation bubbles mounted on the bottom of helicopters and trained to peck at buttons” to find people lost at sea??!?

This book is a treasure trove of pigeon whimsy.
