From ancient Mesopotamian meals to Egyptian message carriers, pigeons have played pivotal roles throughout human history. We’ll explore their incredible feats during wartime, including the heroic actions of Cher Ami, a homing pigeon who delivered vital messages that saved lives during World War I. Join me as we reframe our understanding of these everyday birds and reveal the extraordinary stories hidden in plain sight. Tune in and discover why the next pigeon you see might just be a feathered hero.
