nomoss Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 En effet, l’armée française ne disposerait plus qu’un seul colombier militaire, à la Forteresse du Mont-Valérien, près de Paris.colombier = pigeon loft [:)] Edit: They can't translate either http://www.connexionfrance.com/Decool-pigeon-Drian-army-14021-view-article.html [:(] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nomoss Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 I think an occasional juicy casserole may be the reason they have kept the colombier, though [:)] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idun Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 I read this thread and then on North East England news tonight, racing pidgeons are going missing, lots of them in the last week. Are they being lured to France instead of heading home to the scottish borders, I wonder?[:D] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
