Hand-written on a small piece of paper labeled "Pigeon Service," the note consists of five-letter words that don't make sense.

HIGHLIGHTS

The skeleton of a World War II carrier pigeon is found in a man's chimney in England

A red canister attached to a leg bone holds a coded message UK agency can't crack

Meanwhile, a pigeon museum seeks clues in the bird's identification numbers
