Pigeon post is the use of homing pigeons to carry messages. Pigeons were effective as messengers due to their natural homing abilities. The pigeons were transported to a destination in cages, where they would be attached with messages. No one knows exactly when they were first used for messaging but they were used for that purpose since ancient times.
