Pigeons and the Homing Pigeon’s Folklore
The note revisits W B Tegetmeier’s 1871 book The morning of Corner Pigeon and its themes. It cites Consul Swinhoe’s Natural History of Hainan describing pigeons used as letter-carriers in China, noting their necks swelling, diverse colors, and monthly offspring, with mating behavior described as amatory.
