Carrier Pigeon Transport Cage

Used by the Haganah since 1939, linking remote villages, new settlements activities and Haganah operations.
Used by the IDF during the War of Independence (1948) and the Sinai campaign (1956).

A carrier pigeon was carried in a transport cage and released with a message to return to the home dovecot.

Handling pigeons, a sensitive bird, is entirely different in comparison to electronic equipment, and requires dedication, love and knowledge.
