    Disappointing that none of the teams or host, have any idea of how homing pigeons work.
    They had to be dropped with parachute, so the box didn't drop so fast, it injured thr pigeon. The reason the pigeon had to be in the box, is, if the bird was released from the plane, it would fly home to the UK, to it's mate, immediately.
    Homing pigeons are sent from their home and mate, TO an area needing to send messages,
    back to the pigeon's home, where the message is uncoded and sent to intelligence officers.
    Homing pigeons can't be sent wherever you want. They are only interested in going home, to their mate. And they have to be kept in a pigeon loft/aviary, until needed, because if they are loose, they just go home, immediately.
    If you had pigeons who had mated in the Resistance Camp, they would not leave, if you put a message on them. Their home and mate, are there. But you could take them back to UK, put messages on them, and they would fly to the camp. Problem is, they are being watched for, and can be tracked, to where they land.
    So you tended to use pigeons to send messages back to UK. And you usually let them go away from the camp, hopefully, away from any Germans or collaborators. BUT you had to have them dropped, from planes, regularly, so you didn't run out of pigeons.
    The Brits and Germans had coastal teams who shot at pigeons looking like they were heading to the enemy. They also had hawks and falcons to take out the pigeons.
    A number of pigeons came back with chests torn open, from bird of prey attack.
    Wonderful, extraordinary birds.

      Often, all adverts seen are placed by youtube. Uploader gets no money, no say in where adverts go.
      This is what happens. Even if you are not earning anything at all. It may well be, you have made that remark to someone earning nothing, just another fan of the show. Make your complaint to yt, and discover a billion dollar American company's interest in your happiness or not, in their profit making.

      It is precisely because it is *not* their show that there are ads. The actual owner of the show makes a copyright claim and places ads which benefit themselves. This is hardly a new phenomenon. It happens on the WILTY Nope channel as well (and many others ) and has been explained over and over again on that channel. It's no different here.
