I had no idea racing pigeons or even pigeons were this fast! Or could fly this far. A range of almost 1,00 miles (1,600 km) and speeds of up to 80mph (130kph) with a tailwind with average of 37 mph (60kph) on a calm day. - Info from racing pigeon Wiki.

I think Wally would be pleased to have this bird. He might not like it zooming along in traffic as it was. Going 55 mph (90 kph) on the highway ! Love how it takes the off ramp. :)

Oops, I noticed a typo of my own up there in leaving off a 0 (zero or Zed) from the range. Meant to say a range of almost a 1,000 miles, not 1,00.
