#14I would like to use this. Would make a great and very special birthday gift. Any plans to expand this to other countries?

#15how do the pigeons know where to go to?
This is a question I have as well...
As I understand carrier pigeons, is that they don't know where to go, only how to get home so usually, you'll give them a letter and they take it home, where the person then can collect the letter. But this seems different.
Someone have any idea how it actually works?

"We're ready to cut Chad out of this at any time." "What?"
I'm still not sure if this whole thing is a joke or not. Poe's Law in effect.

#18I love how they're touting their in-office kergerator to potential hires.
The "heigene" typo on their "Junior Caretaker" job offer is weird though.

#19I don't get it, are these actual pigeons? I would have expected a photo if so...
Yes. https://flypigeon.co/fleet -- The service only operates in Florida (USA) so far, but they bring an actual bird to the door when delivering the message.
So print the message, and arrive holding a pigeon. No-one will know the difference.

#20I read once that carrier pigeons go only one way (back home). How does this work?
Maybe some one finally took Project Pigeon and applied it...
