Can anyone shed any light as to whether this video is real or a hoax? Seems to be a mini-doc but just finding it a bit hard to believe! Suppose should never underestimate pigeons..

Oh dear, what are they teaching in schools now if you can't tell this I'd a viral hoax to create buzz for their product. If unconvinced,

1) pigeons cannot carry anything of much mass it massively offbalances them in flight, especially if it's strung underneath them.

2) pigeons can home they cannot find a photo of a house.

3) you're an idiot, lol.
