    Indian police are holding a pigeon under armed guard after it was caught on an alleged spying mission for arch rivals and neighbours Pakistan, media reported on Friday.

    The white-coloured bird was found by a local resident in India's Punjab state, which borders Pakistan, and taken to a police station 40 kilometres (25 miles) from the capital Amritsar.

    The pigeon had a ring around its foot and a Pakistani phone number and address stamped on its body in red ink.

    Maybe the bird will try and fly the coup.
    Otherwise his sauce is cooked!

    With these fly-by-nights one has to suspect fowl play.
    His goose is cooked though, only chance of escape now is a on wing and a prayer.
    I wonder if he is entitled to a phone call.If so,he ll be literally a bird on a wire.

    This is hardly something new

    During the occupation of the Channel Islands it was illegal to own a pigeon

    A pigeon singing like a canary! :eek:
    Don't think I'd like to hear that.
    I'd say it would be fowl.

    Pigeons are feathered rats in fairness.

    Sorry.

    Not wood pigeon, very tasty;)

    Edit: This thread just reminded me that I have a few pigeon breasts in the freezer. I have just taken them to defrost; we eat spies up here.
