"There's no doubt that there are some tasks pigeons are better than us at, such as finding your way home from a random place."

Buddy, I am here ta tell ya, that ain't true. I can pick my way outta anywhere. The ONLY reason I can't do it faster that a pigeon is on accounta I can't fly. If I could, I could knock the feathers off a pigeon in that scrap. Beat it home and have a pot on the boil for it's arrival. Better? I say nay.
