the birth of bold pigeon 2.26.10

the word pigeon brings to mind images of quirky birds scavenging for crumbs on city streets and pecking at our feet for items deemed trash. too long considered a nuisance and useless bird, pigeons or commonly called rock doves have an amazing history. perhaps the next time you see a pigeon consider they have saved thousands of soldiers lives during 2 world wars, have carried messages to the ancient egyptians and can travel up to 100 miles per hour for hours at at time! this amazing and bold bird has much to teach us about the things we consider ordinary in our lives!
