  4. Hi Saveu,

    Thanks for posting these really interesting facts. I had not read anything about the homing pigeon who saved all of those men's lives during WWI. Do you remember where the men were stationed when they received the message? I would love to read more about what happened. If you have the chance could you please upload a link to the site where you found the information about the pigeon? It's so helpful for us, as readers, to have links to the original sources of information (the 'references') so that we can follow them and read more about the cool and interesting facts that are posted.

    When you have a minute could you please upload the reference (website link) for us?

    Thanks so much!

    Cheers,
    Rachel :)
