Postduif, Homing Pigeon, The homing pigeon is a variety of domesticated Rock Dove (''Columba livia'') that has been selectively bred to be able to find its way home over extremely long distances. Because any pigeon generally returns to its own nest and its own mate, it was relatively easy to selectively breed the birds that repeatedly found their way home over long distances. The birds can carry messages (frequently written on cigarette paper) in a small tube attached to one leg. Flights as long as 2,718 km have been recorded by exceptional birds in competition pigeon racing. Their average flying speed over moderate distances is around 50 km/h, but they can achieve bursts of speed up to 100 km/h.

One thing must take in a note, the male pigeon will perform fast flying to his female when mating season come. In this period, people will bring their bird for racing on the field. People will call the male bird from a distance by waving female bird in the hand., A messenger pigeon on a house roof

ハト は、ハトの品種である。非常に長い距離で家に帰る方法を見つけるために選択的に繁殖した。ハトは、通常、自分の巣に帰ってくるばかりか、自分の配偶者に戻ってくるため、長距離にわたって帰路を繰り返した鳥を選択的に繁殖させることは比較的容易であった。鳥は、片足に取り付けられた小さなチューブでメッセージを伝達することができる。競技鳩のレースでは、例外的に2,718kmの飛行記録がある。中程度の距離での飛行の平均速度は約50km/hだが、100km/hまでバーストできる。目や孔の大きさ、羽の羽の構成、歩くスタイル、羽ばたきの速度など、解剖学的特徴に特長がある。雄のハトは交尾期になると雌に高速で飛ぶ。この時期は野鳥の出走を狙う。男鳥は、手を振って遠くから男鳥を呼び出す。屋上からメッセンジャーハト。
