ABOUT

Military field commanders have used homing pigeons to send messages from the front to their superiors for centuries. The animals are prized for their relative intelligence and their uncanny ability to navigate to message delivery sites. If the homing pigeon has been trained using the rules in Training a Beast for Battle, above, it can deliver messages to its designated people or locations with its Messenger feature.
