Skeleton of WWII carrier pigeon found.

LONDON – Experts say the skeletal remains of a pigeon discovered in the chimney of a house in southern England carried a mysterious, long-forgotten message from World War II.

Historians at Britain's Second World War-era code breaking headquarters say the bird was almost certainly returning from Nazi-occupied France during the June 1944 D-Day invasion.

Bletchley Park says that a radio blackout imposed on Allied forces at the time meant that messages about the progress of the invasion were dispatched by pigeon across the Channel.

What the message says remains unknown. It was coded, an unusual measure generally reserved for the most sensitive secrets.

Bletchley Park said Thursday that one of its curators is now trying to unravel the message using World War II logbooks.

Well, you never know what you'll find when you start tearing into something old. I wonder if it flew over my father as he was going ashore.

I see at least one stuckie a day don't want me to go and shoot them.

I'm intrigued as to what possible discomfort a peregrine does to you personally.

[scothunter 12,609]

Again how does that affect you personally.

I don't see the connection. Not to mention, you risk offending other members.

My old man kept racing pigeons and he lost a few expensive birds to hawks . I wouldn't like to shoot one but I suppose it's no different than getting rid of a fox that's been taking pheasants! Or is it?
