They didn't use any kind of pigeon, they used homing pigeons. These are a bit special, since they will always return to what they consider their home when released. So if you borrow someone elses homing pigeon, bring them with you as you go, then you can send a message to that other guy by tieing a little capsule containing a little note to the leg of a pigeon and then releasing it.
