Quite.

I'm a little curious how the bir held the USB stick, I wonder if it was tied underneath the dorsal guiding feathers?

It's not a question of where he grips it! It's a simple question of weight ratios.

Another garbage story from the BBC, sadly it's what I've come to expect.

It's to highlight the area's poor broadband, you guys don't seriously think this is a story about how pigeons are better than the internet do you? :/

The ping sucks though.

Yeah, not much good for gaming.

Pfff, upload speed is barely that important...

Either way I'd like to see the Pidgeon then carry the same stick to America.

Or indeed deliver a 700mb file to tens of thousands of people within hours (Vs. torrent).

They should have used 2 sparrows and stuck some HD's in a cocanut.

I dont believe that two Sparrows would have the lift capacity to lift a coconut let alone one with a hard drive inside...now a swallow...thats a different story
