Thought this was going to be about actual couriers!! No chance of training them so why not birds for smaller stuff? Couldn't do worse than some of the 'couriers' around!

Yes exactly, the *insert company of choice* drivers can't seem to be trained to deliver parcels.

Baldrick "rubish, that pigeon could never carry the king"

It's a simple question of weight ratios! A five ounce bird could not carry a one pound coconut.

To be pedantic, they would only be up in arms, assuming they obtained such weaponry. “Up in arms” isn’t a limb reference..........

Now that could be a worry, armed pigeons.
