They allowed battlefield commands to be transmitted quickly, and allowed messages to travel outside of besieged cities. They also allowed messages to be carried secretly, at high altitudes, and very quickly.

Pigeons are effective as messengers due to their natural homing abilities. The pigeons are transported to a destination in cages, where they are attached with messages, then the pigeon naturally flies back to its home where the recipient could read the message.
