U.S. Military almost used pigeons to guide missiles in WW2

This is so awesome! Sort of sad that the pigeons intelligence was used to essentially send them to a certain death. Interesting in any event.

Yes, it's a bit sad... But truly amazing. Whoever came up with the idea "bird brain" honestly didn't know what they were talking about. Birds sometimes have the capability to own much more intelligence than a few folks in the world do. Thanks for sharing! Very interesting.
