[Answer] What was usually delivered by pigeon post?

Step 1 : Introduction to the question " What was usually delivered by pigeon post? "

...

Pigeon post is the use of homing pigeons to carry messages. Pigeons were effective as messengers due to their natural homing abilities. The pigeons were transported to a destination in cages, where they would be attached with messages, then the pigeon would naturally fly back to its home where the recipient could read the message.

They have been used in many places around the world. Pigeons have also been used to great effect in military situations, and are in this case referred to as war pigeons.

As a method of communication, it is likely as old as the ancient Persians, from whom the art of training the birds probably came.

Before the telegraph, this method of communication was used extensively by stockbrokers and financiers. As radio telegraphy and telephony were developed, the use of pigeons became limited to fortress warfare by the 1910s. Although the British Admiralty had attained a very high standard of efficiency, it discontinued its pigeon service in the early 20th century. In contrast, large numbers of birds were still kept by France, Germany and Russia at the outbreak of the First World War.
