In a surprising twist on modern logistics, Amazon founder Jeff Bezos has announced an ambitious plan to revolutionize package delivery by employing trained pigeons. Citing their reliability and responsiveness—evident when they promptly depart upon being shooed—Bezos believes these birds could offer an eco-friendly alternative to traditional delivery methods.
To bring this vision to life, Bezos aims to acquire 200 million pigeons, offering $1 for each. However, sourcing such a vast number of birds from various countries presents a unique challenge: not all pigeons “coo” in English. To address this linguistic barrier, a team of avian interpreters is being assembled to facilitate cross-cultural communication among the feathered couriers.
Leading this unconventional project is Marjorie Taylor Greene, chosen for her distinctive communication style. Bezos is confident that her approach will resonate with the pigeons, ensuring seamless integration into the delivery network.
While the practicality of a pigeon-based delivery system remains speculative, this imaginative endeavor underscores Bezos’ commitment to exploring innovative and unconventional solutions in logistics.
