Dr. Doolittle was commissioned by the army to talk with severely traumatised carrier pigeons, many of whom repaid his kindness by cr@pping on his car.

Captain Hoskins was reported to the RSPB for spilling his seed on the carrier pigeons in his care. He was known thereafter as Onan the Barbarian.

Launch everything that will fly, and order the fleet to raise steam. This is a carrier pigeon if I've ever seen one!

Now remember, when one of those new Dutch Falcons spots you, wait for it to stoop. Then you'll have a zero-deflection shot.

Wartime shortages had made transportation of lower GI samples to the lab unreliable, sometimes delaying critical care. Then Dr. Butts thought of repurposing a technique he'd seen in the last war, and the term "stool pigeon" entered our vocabulary.

For centuries, man has attempted to harness the uncanny navigational ability of homing pigeons. Modern technology has finally brought that goal near at hand. Scientists are perfecting a lightweight pod containing a radio transmitter and a precise clock. Once the pods (prototype shown above) are mass produced and fitted to birds, it will simply be a matter of ensuring that at least four are airborne at any given time.

Look mate, I’m no Yankee Doodle Pigeon, and you’re no Dick Dastardly either.

These management pigeons are all the same. They fly on over and take the last crumb out of your mouth. Then they sh1t all over you and fly on back.

Hoskins' nasty habit of "pulling the pigeon" resulted in the bird having a perpetually elongated neck.
