WINSTON THE PIGEON HOPES TO BEAT THE INTERNET.
In what must be one of the better stories going around at the moment, Winston the homing pigeon has been hired by a Hillcrest (KZN) company to fly 4gb of data from Howick to their offices.
The Financial Services company called “The Unlimited” is investigating ways to transport data that is faster than a phone line.
Winston, will fly with a memory card strapped to his leg and hopes to make it in under an hour, over the 70km distance.

Lets hope that he does not stop to charm a budgie along the way !!
