For at least 5,000 years, pigeons have been domesticated by various human civilizations. As with cats and dogs, humanity influenced their development as a species. Over that time period they were used for food, as companions and to power a surprisingly sophisticated messenger system. In both World Wars, carrier pigeons carried vital intel between battlefields, and some of them are honored for their service, such as G.I. Joe, Paddy, Winkie and Mary of Exeter. As recently as 2009, a South African pigeon named Winston proved that he was still faster at delivering 4GB that an internet service provider. But the House Pet Pigeon Club concerns itself with the lives, wellbeing and day-to-day needs with pigeons and their humans. When I visited, one post shared the adorable reel of a 3-month-old white pigeon watching distant feathered cousins on television. Come here to share your newborn nestlings, get tips on feed and socialization or just to join the conversation.
