Thankfully, there's an official standard for using the internet with just carrier pigeons: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/IP_over_Avian_Carriers
I can't believe they removed the photo of a dead pigeon captioned "An example of packet loss."
"...this technology suffers from extremely high latency."
But it does work in an electrically challenged environment when the latency of the internet is infinite. But it can be hacked by 3/4oz #8 birdshot.
Time to expand the protocol with encryption
I have a suspicion most networking hardware would be affected by that
and is probably prone to cat in the middle attacks ..
I'm thinking 3/4oz #8 birdshot is the zeroday attack.
But then please don't return to sender!
You know, pigeons probably do have relatively high latency but I bet a carrier pigeon could carry at least three SD cards, meaning a pigeon has hella bandwidth.

Truck bandwidth
Or a good old USB stick!
Bandwidth is also impacted by distance though, across a school or town it would be incredibly high speed.
This is why you have to factor in the airspeed velocity of your laiden and unlaiden ~~swallows~~ pigeons.
What do you mean? An African or European pigeon?
And high packet loss.
Tail latency with a swallow tail.
Brilliant
