Pigeons Make Pupils High FlyersMaybe understanding racing pigeons will make young people more appreciative of their feral brothers.

 My only complaint would be the video was too short.  The kids were great as was the pigeon, of course. Beautiful bird.  Many thanks for sharing this with us. Cindy

Hi Cynthia,
I think that is an excellent program, and it seems to help the kids to focus better especially with literacy. I guess it doesn't hurt that this pigeon fancier, is also a school teacher. The bird is just beautiful, it has these two white spots on both sides of his eyes, quite interesting! I'm also glad it is being shared in the local news...and thank you for sharing!

Hi Cynthia,
I am happy to see you are posting more often now. Does it mean that you are feeling better? Well; this article is very interesting. I have forwarded it to one of my granddaughters who is a teacher in the American School in Montevideo. Hasta pronto, Gladys
