Odysseus: A True Story
An an acquaintance gave me a homing pigeon
with bad manners. As a young pigeon, it
refused to go into its aviary like most pigeons
do. It slept in my backyard and left messy
droppings everywhere. So I trapped the bird
while it slept and decided to take him for a ride
as far away as possible. I drove from
Sacramento to Santa Rosa, California, about
100 miles away. The next day Odysseus was
home!
Odysseus is now my favorite pigeon
and has fathered all the pigeons in my loft!
And by the way, he now sleeps in his aviary
every night! And no more messy droppings around the yard!

An old man in the Philippines raised thousands of homing pigeons on the roof of his house. At feeding time, thousands of white pigeons covered the ground.
