I just watched a video of a pigeon flying down the motorway doing over 100kph, I sh1t you not. I know their called racing pigeons but never realised just how fast they can fly. I cant add video's or links, heres the address, pretty impressive flying. liveleak.com/view?i=843_1470305366

According to this page http://www.fbipigeons.com/PIGEON%20FACTS.htm

Racing Homing Pigeons have been clocked flying 92.5 mph average speed on a 400 mile race.

So actually this one was a bit of a slowcoach

Could they be picked up on speed camera?

Think Mythbusters proved they could not, must do some googling.
