Grandpa told us the neighbor had stopped to talk while he was out in the yard and asked him if he'd seen his homing pigeons. Now isn't that a funny thing to lose? Aren't they supposed to come home no matter what? But as I write I can see one of them sitting out on the light post. Are they malfunctioning? On strike?Grandma and I were curious about these funny birds so we got on wikipedia to learn more about them. Did you know studies show that the birds follow man made routes to their destinations and use visual landmarks to get home? "Take your next left at the McDonald's, follow that road 4 miles and it's your third left after the movie theater." How do they do that?
