Pigeon gets plane trip home after wrong turn LONDON, Sunday (AFP)-A homing pigeon who took a wrong turn on his return to Britain from France, ending up in the United States, is to be flown home by British Airways, the airline said Saturday. "We promise Billy's trip home will be more comfortable than his trip out," a BA spokeswoman said. Billy, from the town of Bootle in northwest England, had been expected to arrive home seven hours after being released from Fougeres in northern France, on June 6. The two-year-old's owners, John and Maria Warren, thought Billy had died after failing to return but the couple received a telephone call earlier this week to say he had turned up in New York. |
