Carrier Pigeons

I think these birds are called carrier pigeons because they carry letters.
They carry letters and small parcels from place to place.
The letters or parcels are tied under the pigeon’s wing.
This pigeon loves its own home.
It always will come back to its own home.
It flies very high, and comes back home in a straight line.
During the World War, the army kept carrier pigeons.
These carrier pigeons were used to carry messages.
