Bbc news and pigeons

There's a nice piece on smuggling pigeons on the bbc news web site, not racing pigeons , but all types and how they get smuggled around Syria and Lebanon ,stupid amounts of money involved, good read, I don't know how to put up a link, so if anyone could do this it would be appreciated, thanks all.

fancy pigeons are a big hobby in syria and the lebanon

when people in Syria or any other country in the world have free passage across the world on an open border policy, and illegal imigrants swamp any country they wish to encroach on, whats the big mystery on how they are "smuggling" pigeons,

this is yet another smoke and mirrors caper by the corrupt bbc to distract attention from the rat like swarm of imigrants who are flooding all country`s of the world (apart from Israel, they are very strict on foreigners coming into their country, yet are behind them coming here and into other eu countries)

Thanks for that Hal, me and computers just don't see eye to eye

Mmm, not a bbc fan then David,

not interested in anything the bbc say or do it cant be taken on trust just look at the way they have harboured kiddy fiddlers and rapists jim'll fix you and two little boys rolf

Someone showed me something on the bbc the other day that pigeons were fitted with packs on their backs and were being used to monitor pollution in the capital.
They were also trackers, so you could look where they all were.

Just how did you figure that out Lofty & just a small point on David's comments there is a little island, filled with kangaroos etc that fits quite nicely beside Israel as such I suspect.

I'm lead to believe also Boosey some hospitals around London etc use them also to carry certain items between hospitals there, because of the traffic issues. Maybe true maybe not     but if true, we shall just put it down to modern technology being on the smart side .
