how 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?

EDIT: When I posted this most of the comments in this thread seemed to take the company at face value. The multiple references to RFC 1149 and the "fleet" page since then have rather changed the tone. :)
So I don't blame anyone for taking this seriously (it took me 5 minutes of reading their blog before I finally convinced myself it was a joke), but this is definitely a parody. I mean, just look at this from their YC application: > Our initial market research suggests Pigeon can become a major player in the pigeon-as-a-service (PaaS) space. > It's difficult to explain to non-pigeon users (NPUs), but the excitement is…
I love how they're touting their in-office kergerator to potential hires. The "heigene" typo on their "Junior Caretaker" job offer is weird though.
I would like to use this. Would make a great and very special birthday gift. Any plans to expand this to other countries?

The next generation of pigeons will have genetically engineered trans-atlantic and trans-pacific flight endurance capability.

Nice, though i'm sure recruiting from other cities wouldn't be a problem. Lot's of pigeons in every major city and tourist spots.
