A remarkable instance Of the instinct
of the homing pigeon has recently been
experienced by we'll known fancier
at Moseley. Some three years ago the
gentleman in question purchased a
bird of a famed strain from breeder
at yYidnes, and for a couple of years
kept it In close confinement. Ulti-
mately he resorted to cutting the wing
down" and at the end Of twelve months
allowed the bird its freedom. The pig
con could not possibly fly many yards
at a stretch, Still it gained the roof,
and rapidly marched along the ridges
of several houses, until its recapture
was out Of the question. Several
weeks elapsed, when the Moseley
fancier received a letter from Widnes
stating that the bird had returned
to its former home. 1t was then in
very poor condition, and the state of
its wing showed that it could not have
flown the distance other than by short
flights at q time. birmingham tEng.)
