Homing pigeons go missing
July 22, 2004 - 9:04PM

"Organisers of a race for homing pigeons were still scratching their heads
in wonder after about 1,500 of the birds, famous for their ability to find
their way home, went missing during the contest.
Of the 2,000 pigeons let loose last week, only about 500 have returned to
their lofts after the 150km flight between the cities of Ljungby and Malmoe
in southern Sweden, said Lars-Aake Nilsson of the Malmoe Homing Pigeon Club.
"The weather was perfect - no rain, no thunder and no strong winds," he
said."


Cheers,
Karen.
